Stanton's Mill was stone built around 1785 and is now used by a variety of 'small firms'. It had a 30ft waterwheel. The mill is typical of the austere, unadorned architectural style associated with buildings of the cotton industry. Really two buildings, of two and three storeys, the fomer straddles the river, as does Bath Mill. Stanton's Mill was occupied in 1832 by Charles (Chas) Stanton, then from 1844 by Leavers and Greenhalgh. In 1853 it was taken over by Richard Greenhalgh and Sons and from 1869 by Greenhalgh and Sons, until the end of the century. Weatheralls Boot Manufacturers and Leather Dealers have also occupied this site. Bath Mill is a little further down stream. Dating from around 1800 it produced thread for Nottingham's thriving lace workshops until occupied in the 1880s by hosiery manufacturers Goldie, Wade and Goldie. It is now semi-derelict.
