 Plymouth, Stonehouse Bridge Mill
In 1678, after the Civil War, it was repaired by Mr William Richard, a miller from Plymouth and in 1680 the Corporation apparently settled rent arrears to Sir Richard Edgcumbe amounting to £30 5s.
This prompted the Mayor and Corporation of Plymouth to march in due state to the bridge where, with the aid of a body of carpenters, they demolished the gate and threw the timber into the water.
Stonehouse Mill was so dilapidated that at the beginning of 1901 it was said to be worth no more than £1,000.
