This was a Steam Powered Woodworking Mill located on the O'Leary Road in Knutsford. My grandfather told me about this mill (the site was in ruins) when I was a kid in the early 1970s. I was always curious about this building my grandfather told me it had been a house hauled here from Duvar by William P. Meggison and converted in to a woodworking/saw mill - he said it was one of three such houses built by the same carpenter (unknown).
