Title: Ashlett Quay and Ashlett Mill [Go to resource]
Description: Bulk supplies of coal, coke and oil were brought into Ashlett Creek from Portsmouth, Southampton and the Isle of Wight in sailing barges. Ashlett Mill, at the head of the creek was powered by the tides. The date stone, high up on the face of the building reads 1816, but there was almost certainly a mill on this site before that. The mill ceased working in 1910 and the building became a store before it was used to accommodate workers building the oil refinery nearby in the 1920's. Reference: Murley, C and F. (1991).
