Gonalston Mill

The Doverbeck River was the southern boundary of Sherwood Forest from the 13th century. The river rises near the village of Blidworth in the heart of the forest and flows southeast to join the River Trent near Gunthorpe and Caythorpe. The Gonalston Mill, formerly known as Cliffe Mill, was one of eleven on the Doverbeck. The eleven were: Salterford Mill, Oxton Mill, Epperstone Mill, Woodborough Mill, The Paper Mill, Carby’s Mill, Parkinson’s Pit, The Lord’s Mill, Cliffe Mill, Hoveringham Mill and Caythorpe Mill.
