Rimington – SD 815449
This is a small mill on the north bank of Ings Beck. It was probably built in the early 1820s and closed in the slump of 1830-31. The mill’s flue ran for a short distance up the hillside to a chimney, which stood on the edge of the valley near to the west end of Skeleron Wood. The 1850 Ordnance Survey map shows it as an “old smelting house”.
