It worked by engine until at least the late 1940s, although the cap and top storey had been removed by this time. It is now converted into a house, and has lost all its machinery. There were four patent sails which drove three pairs of stones. {3}{4}{5} For the full description and the legal address of this listed building please refer to the appropriate List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest. {5}
