Full Description
63411
Atkin's Watermill is located south of the road between Scopwick and Kirkby Green. Very little is known about this particular mill. There is a very unusual concentration of surviving mill buildings on this short stretch of Scopwick Beck. The reason for this is that the limestone Lincolnshire Heath has no surface water, but Scopwick lies on the spring line at a point where the water flow was particularly strong. {1}{2}
