Is the concrete all just buried or was it destroyed?
Somewhere I have details of a start of a proper measured plan of the mill remains, but it was probably only 30% complete when the site was lost.
Everything on the site was levelled. The dressing floors were torn up and the stamps butresses were dynamited. Nothing survived of the mill; other than the engine house that is.
There is the foundations of a crusher up behind the engine house which has been fenced off for viewing, but most of the time you need a machette to get in there, and a good imagination to see through the undergrowth in the wheel pits.
A mutual friend at the CAU worked on this site as one of his first projects, and was apalled at the destruction of such important industrial archaeology that was allowed.
As can be seen from the pictures, there was a great deal to be seen and what remained was in good order and a prime example of a mineral processing mill.
The football pitch does seem to have bad drainage, possibly due to compacted slimes from the mill.
