HISTORY
The property known as Mole End, Mill Hill was built around 1805, before the row of Bedford Cottages in Mill Hill, by the Duke of Bedford and is steeped in history. In fact, the development at Mill Hill is a copy of the development of Tavistock Wharf but on a smaller scale.The Mill Hill industrial site consisted of the Keepers House (Mole End), Warehouse (The Mission House), Lime Kiln, Draught tunnel, Railway, Main Canal and Bypass Channel, and water courses known as leats providing the power required to turn the water wheel to haul the wagons up a 33 degree incline.Mill Hill Quarry, produced slate and limestone. Coal was shipped from South Wales to Morwellham, and taken to Mill Hill where it was used to fuel the fires used for cracking the limestone to form quicklime.Mole End was the original Wharf side Keepers Cottage, the keeper being responsible for the day to day management of the industrial site.The cottage has been extended and altered over the years. It started out as a two up, two down cottages with the Wharf Keepers Offices attached to the North side. The arched windows are unusual and are only known on one other building, the Wharf keepers office in Tavistock. Many of the original features remain giving a unique cottage full of history and character. The lime kiln is a nationally rare kiln type, one of only four that survive in West Devon. The tunnel is still intact and can be seen today in the stone outbuilding to the side of the property.
