North Woodside Flint Mill, 125 Garriochmill Road, built 1846 for Kidston, Cochran and Co. The ruins of a single storey mill and drying shed, demolished c. 1964. The most substantial survivals are the square tapering kiln of stone and brick, the upper part of which is encased in concrete, and the weir and lade which supplied water to the wood and iron internal undershot wheel.

Please excuse my total ignonance but what is a flint mill?
Joe, Son of the Rock replied to Andy Rodker:
A good explanation is available here.
Cheers,

Andy Rodker replied to Joe, Son of the Rock:
I also know that the expression 'bone-grinding', as in 'a bone-grindingly dull day' for instance, derives from the excrutiating noise made when bone (and I presume flint and/or a mixture of the two) is ground in a mill! I also understood that bone was often ground to produce fertiliser.
Or is it 'milled in a mill'?
No (thinking as I go here), you mill soft-ish stuff such as grain and cotton but you grind harder stuff like coffee beans and, of course(!) flint!
Someone will correct me if I've got it wrong, I hope! :o)
