Description
Historic Ordnance Survey map evidence shows the Morton Engine, possibly a winding or pumping engine associated with the nearby Coal Pit (HER ref. 3121) and wagonway (HER ref. 3614). The Morton Engine, built to pump water from the Bournmoor D Pit (HER ref. 4998), was planned from 1814 and commenced pumping operations in early 1817. The site is recorded as "Morton Engine" in 1856 and as the "Morton Pumping Station" in 1896, but by 1920 was disused. A terrace of four houses was located to the south of the engine, but the buildings had been demolished by 1939. The site of the engine is now marked by a low grassed-over mound.

Description
Historic Ordnance Survey map evidence shows Sedgeletch Mill (Corn), the site of a water-driven corn mill adjacent to Moors Burn. Theorigins of the mill are obscure, but buildings at this location are recorded on the Newbottle tithe award map of 1838.The mill was fed by a mill race running some 400 metres from the south. It had been infilled by 1896 and the mill and associated buildings appear to have been replaced with terraced housing. No visible trace of the mill race survives within the area which has recently been re-developed.
