Site of Mill by the River Leven

Just downstream from the present bridge stood a mill built in 1757. It was built originally as a paper mill but was converted to flax in the 1850s. The flax was grown locally and used in the manufacture of sail cloth. This mill closed in 1908 following the decline of sailing ships and thereafter used for public meetings. It was demolished in 1937 when the road was widened.
