Mill pond and Mill Farm One cannot be sure if this is the original mill pond for the former Redmire corn mill, for although it is in the right situation it does appear to be very small. There are a few bits of masonry behind the photographer on the high bank overlooking the Ure which mark the site of the mill building.
