===Malin Bridge Corn Mill=== The grade two [[Listed building|listed mill]] stands at the junction of Stannington Road and Holme Lane. The earliest written records for a mill on this site date from 1739; at that time it was used for grinding knives. It is one of the few remaining examples of an [[Water wheel#Undershot wheel|undershot water wheel]] in the country, it is {{convert|6|m|order=flip}} in diameter and {{convert|2.5|m|order=flip}} wide. The mill was completely destroyed in the flood of 1864 and was rebuilt by the Wilson family. Around 1915 it was converted to a corn mill by the Marsden family and operated until 1956. Since then it has been a [[Comet (retailer)|Comet]] store, Chinese restaurant and a clothing store before becoming disused. In 2006 [[Sheffield City Council]] granted permission for 23 new apartments to be built on the site; the plans include strict controls to preserve the historic building and water wheel. The apartments and the restoration were completed in the second half of 2008.<ref name="test6">{{cite web |url=http://www.loxleyvalley.com/cornmill.htm |title=Corn mill restoration |access-date=14 April 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090106032439/http://www.loxleyvalley.com/cornmill.htm |archive-date=6 January 2009 }}</ref> [[File:La Plata Works, Malin Bridge.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The La Plata works of Burgon & Ball.
