Article by Jon Rady and Damien Boden of Canterbury Archaeological Trust Ltd on their survey of the site in 2011-12.

Good information on prehistoric and land use prior to major mill use. Good information on the development of the mill in late 19th and early 20th centuries; i.e. the peak of the operation. Especially helpful is the mill blueprint plan on p17 showing the locations of Machines 5-13 in 1911. Also marked is the Galloway Engine. Was Galloway a relation to Brian Galloway, a long serving manager in the 1980-90s?
