Details

Identifiernot specifiedPhotographerCollingridge, George, 1847-1931DescriptionSingletons Mill is on the bank of the Hawkesbury at the mouth of Laybury's Creek opposite Gunderman. In 1834 Mrs Felton Mathew mentioned that a water mill was under construction here. The mill was built for James and Benjamin Singleton. The disused mill was a familiar landmark at the end of the 19th century. James and Benjamin had established a flour mill on Wheeny Creek near Kurrajong and later applied for land on the Hawkesbury River to set up a tidal mill, prior to 1820. The mill did very well; by 1834 James had built a larger mill downstream on the southern side. The water-driven wheel was five metres in diameter, and the grinding stones weighed one ton each. It was demolished by the early 1900s.Physical FormatSingletons Mill
