Like the Mill House, the Mill itself has a date plaque on its exterior. Sadly it is no longer visible (or at least not clearly) The plaque reads "PM 1839" The initials PM are not thought to be that of the builder, but "Preesall Mill"

Preesall is one of the largest mills on the area, with Thornton mill being of similar size. With the sails fitted the total span was 76 feet!
