The former Caudwell flour Mill on the south bank of the River Greet was built over the site of the medieval Burgage mill, a site purchased by Charles Caudwell in 1851. The mill was damaged by fires in 1867, 1893 and 1917. However, on each occasion the mill was rebuilt and the equipment was upgraded. The Caudwell family were millers for four generations, after which Associated British Foods bought the mill. It closed in 1977 and was turned into flats in 1989. This cul-de-sac, Mill Park, located at the side of the Southwell Trail (a former railway route between Farnsfield and Rolleston Junction) joins Normanton Road ahead.
