Description
New Lambton corn mill is shown on an estate map of 1812 with a mill dam at the confluence of the Herrington and Moor Burns linked to the mill by a mill race. By 1856 the mill pond had been infilled, possibly with colliery waste. By 1895 the New Lambton Mill had been demolished and the mill race infilled.
