In the mid 1980s it was a craft centre which was divided into small units. Today the mill on the banks of the river Tame has been converted into stylish living apartments. For future reference a 2 bedroom fourth floor flat was on the market for £199,950 in March 2009. [[1185032]] Just above the rooftop of the mill you can see Uppermill Cricket Club.
