Dusty Miller's was previously used as a 'Shippon' (cow shed) until the late 60's when farming ceased at The Mill. The building was constructed later than The Mill, evidence of which can be seen over the waterwheel window; this has a sandstone lintel on the inside of the present building which indicates it was the outside wall of the wheelhouse building. Dusty's was originally two rooms, and converted into one in the early 1940's when it was upgraded to comply with new farming regulations. We have left the original 'Boskins' which divided the room into 'Bouses' where the cows were tethered for milking. There are numerous agricultural and craft artefacts around the walls, all of which are original to The Mill and local area.
There
is a collection of 'stuffed' local wildlife in Dusty's. While some people may
find this distasteful, we would point out the the animals were victims of road
accidents and not killed for display. We felt that having died in such sad
circumstances it is a tribute to allow the public see examples of their species.
The collection includes a badger, adult and juvenile foxes, a polecat, a mink, a
stoat, a tawny owl, a barn owl and several birds.
