Tweed Mill
Irish Weaver Toby Fitzpatrick came to Dartington Hall in 1927 and advocated machine weaving to the Elmhirsts.
The purpose-built tweed mill was designed by Oswald P. Milne in 1930.
Surprisingly the water wheel on the side is purely cosmetic, being one of a number of later additions to the building.
It closed as a textile mill in the early 1980s and the building is currently vacant.
Lower Tweed Mill is currently Grade II listed (click here to find out more about what listing means). Situated on the A384 on the right hand side before the roundabout at Shinners Bridge is reached.
