Hi Lynne,
I dont come on here very often so have only just seen your post from last August.
Dorothy Colman is the grand daughter of Robert Colman. She is the daughter of Roberts son....Robert and Mary Colman. The son Robert also ran the mill at Hart. Both are my grand fathers many times back. Im am still looking for an elusive photo of the mill.

Hi again,
I dont know when the mill was actually sold. The only info I have is the advert in the paper for march 1841.
The info you have given me is very interesting.
Thank you for sharing that with me
Regards
John

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes Robert Colman was my 4xGr grandfather and he still owned the mill in 1841.
He put the mill up for sale in 1841
It was advertised in the Newcastle Courant on 12 march 1841.
We never knew who he sold the mill to, so its nice to find that snippet of information.
Do you have any further info on the mill, or on the sale of the mill to your relatives?
If I find a photo of the mill then I too will be happy to send you a copy.
Kind Regards
John Colman

Hi,
My Gr x4 grandfather had Ingleton Mill built and was still the owner in 1841 when he sold it.
We have visited the site and all that is there now are a couple of holiday apartment's and a couple of old houses. According to the current owner of the land the mill was knocked down in the 1960's.
The place remains as farmland.
If you have managed to obtain a photo then a copy would be most welcome if at all possible.
Regards
John
