Steve Grigg writes: “This mill is mentioned by Worth (Ref: Worth’s DARTMOOR – page 300) as ‘Blacklane Brook (B)’. Worth records that: “The leat is clearly traceable, and there is the usual raised bank to take the launder which fed the wheel. No moulds or mortars are to be seen, but there is a stone with a bearing well worn and polished. May have been Wallack Mill”. Wallack Mill is documented in 1532-3 and 1537-9 (Greeves) but identifying this site with Wallack Mill is uncertain and there is considered to be a ‘better candidate’ further downstream next to the Wollake.
