Full Description
'Primrose Mill (Cotton)' is depicted on the 1st ed. 25" Ordnance Survey map of c. 1880, with a mill pond shown immediately to the east. (1)
The Mill is described as disused on the 2nd edition of 1898, and the mill pond appears to have been at least partially, if not completely, infilled. (2)
