Witheridge: Bradford Mill This ceased to be a working watermill in the 1930s. The watermill has since become part of a private residence, seen here from the adjoining road. Henry Blackford was miller in the period 1893 - 1906 and William Roberts was listed as miller in 1926; he may well have been the last of the line. Looking south west
