History:
Archer Moss Junior converted one of the mills to steam after his father died, after that they were sometimes referred to as the high, middle and steam mills. Long Sally became a victim to lightning and one of the sails caught alight, but swift action by Herbert Moss, son of Archer Junior, stopped the flames spreading. This mill was taken down in 1883, although the roundhouse stood for a while afterwards. Little Jenny was dismantled about 1902 and all three had disappeared by 1906.
