Upton Mill

Before this windmill wasbuilt in 1775, locals used the watermill at Bache Pool. The miller was William Carter who was succeeded by his son-in-law Edward Dean who developed the family bakery business and moved out to Saltney. Demolition of the mill in the 1950s was opposed by local residents and, after some 20 years of various uses, the mill, minus its' sails, was converted into a home. It stands on the corner of Upton Park.
