At one time, Barton was a thriving industrial town
producing bricks & tiles, rope and chalk which was
easily transported away by river and sea. Today
the once industrial areas near the riverside have
become a haven for wildlife. Visit Water's Edge
Country Park and Far Ings Nature Reserve.
The Old Mill pub in Market
Lane is a converted windmill, Kings Garth
Mill, which was in use as a mill up to 1950.
Excavations have shown
that it was built on the site of an
Anglo-Saxon Cemetery. |
