The steam mill operated until about 1928 after which it became a door factory. In 1953 Nunn's Corn and Coal bought the building which was eventually destroyed by fire in 1963.

The photograph on the right was taken two days after the fire.

The remains of the former mill, and of two adjacent cottages, were soon demolished and a new mill was built on the site. Nunn's operated this mill until 1990.

For a while the building was used as a temporary store but then, as this photograph shows, it was left to deteriorate.
