The Ipswich and Stowmarket Navigation was opened 1793, mostly using the River Gipping. Traffic to Stowmarket stopped around 1910, and the navigation was abandoned in 1932. (Information from "Lost Canals and Waterways of Britain", by Ronald Russell, published by David and Charles.) |

Hawk's Mill was built in 1884, just at the time when roller milling was becoming popular in England. It is listed Grade II and has been converted into flats. An Armfield turbine was one power source, but the chimney indicated steam power was also used |
