Manor Mill, Linfit, Lepton The subject position is for the former Manor Mill on the right, and its millpond. The mill was disused by the mid-20C, so presumably has been converted to houses. On the left the tall building is Linfit Mill, at SE204137. Linfit Lane slants up the hillside, and becomes Paddock Road, passing a housing estate called The Crescent, at SE203131. A good proportion of SE2013 can be seen from this viewpoint at Little Lepton,
