[edit] Gresham Watermill
Gresham Watermill was only a small mill and today all that remains is the mill house with the watercourse channel and a small part of the foundations lying to the west side of the mill house[2]. The site later became known as Old Watermill Farm and is in Lower Gresham. In 1819 the mill was powering 2 pairs of French burr stones, which were used to ground local wheat to produce flour.
