This originally water-powered building has a date stone of 1821 (corn sheaf date stone survives) and appears to have been built by William Heron.
By 1857 it was described as a hone mill. "Dalmore Mill (Whetstone) A hone mill worked by water- 10 horse power - two storeys high, slated and in good repair. The stone found in Dalmore Quarry is dressed and polished here.
The Dalmore or Heron's Mill site consists of several buildings: Dalmore/Heron's Mill itself, a packing shed and two storage sheds with barrel-vault shaped roofs on the west part of the site.
There is a south range which housed the band-saw used to cut wood to make boxes for the hone stones. The office and a range of buildings containing storage and packing facilities were adjacent.
