The Old Mill, 6 Windmill Street, Ruiton, Upper Gornal.
The Windmill public house was built by John Hyde in 1852, ownership
was transferred to Henry Rollason in 1875 and shortly afterwards to John Clark.
Called 'Windmill Inn' in the 1881 census and Henry Rollason (aged 33) and family lived there, occupation publican & stone mason.
Acquired by Holden's Brewery in 1946.
Recently refurbished and name changed to 'The Mill'.
The pub and street were named after Rewardine windmill,
which stood on or very near the pub site, this is shown on an early map of Ruiton.
The 17th Century Rewardine [Ruiton] windmill was Gornal's original mill, all traces of which have long gone, however the remains of the 'new' windmill are still a familiar site on Ruiton's skyline.
