Cheadle, Corn Mills

[mezentia]

I am looking for any historical information about two corn mills, the Adderley Mill, located on the river Tean to the north-west of Cheadle, and the Cheadle Corn Mill, on the Cicelley Brook/Cheadlemill Brook to the south-east of Cheadle. I am specifically intererested in the history of the mills before 1800. Any help, or suggestions where to go for this information gratefully received.

Can't see anything in newspapers prior to 1800, however there is this advertisement from 1855, names the miller as James NIXON.

Also the "History, gazetteer and directory of Staffordshire and the City and County of the City of Lichfield " 1834 has Thomas BAYLEY as miller at Adderley.

Also this advertisement from 1789, not sure if this is the Cheadle Corn Mill you mean?
