The mill is on an L-plan, and is externally complete, though it has lost all its machinery except the skeleton of its internal low-breast wheel.

This view shows the frame of the unusually narrow mid-breast paddle wheel which powered the mill. The frame is of all-iron construction. The sockets for the pegs supporting the paddles can be seen in the rims.

Mill of Blackhall

Mill of Blackhall. There is a date stone of 1686 on the mill, but it is thought parts of the building may be even older as records show there was a mill as early as 1608.
