    • Alstonefield History (Source Unknown)
      Westside Mill on the Manifold in the northwest corner of the township existed by 1584. A mill there was worked in the late 1880's by J.W. Bassett of Hulme End, who was also a builder and contractor. He continued there in the early 20th century, but by 1924 the mill had passed to John Wilshaw Bassett & Sons, who worked it until c. 1930.
