Abstract:
Eling Creek was a site of corn processing continuously for at least 900 years, a mill being recorded there in the Domesday book. In 1996 Totton and Eling Heritage Centre informed the trust of the discovery of timbers in the intertidal zone in the area of the mill. They extended for 35 metres along the creek. Given the close proximity of the site to a shipbuilding area it was concluded that they were the remains of a timber conversion area supplying timber to the boat yard across the creek. [Sec(Au)]
