Springfield Mill, Kirkdale 1909

"James was a miller, it seems most of the family were millers. There is James named on the 1831 Southport Directory as the miller in Churchtown. This James in 1841 was a Miller in Wallasey Cheshire his SIL was miller in churchtown by 1841. He must have passed the mill over to him or left when his Grandfather died. James must have left Churchtown between 1838 and 1841 as Hannah`s son Henry was born 1838 in Crossens and then William was a labourer. James died in Kirkdale Liverpool at the mill he was then at on Walton Road. He was made a bankcrupt in 1843 at the time residing in Wavertree. Looks like he wasn`t very good with money :-))." - Germaine Cowell

"I think the informant is his wife as in the 1841 census the family are in Cheshire down as Meadews and the daughter Margaret isn't there I am thinking that she must have died though I haven't found her death yet. I have found the rest of the children in 1851 and the younger ones are all with relatives. No Margaret to be found. No I haven't found Margaret parents yet. I am sure she was born in Liverpool and there is one but I haven't got anything to prove it. There is something I need to check out but I was getting confused with it so have put it on a back burner for now. in the 1841 census they have a William Croft staying with them . I should imagine he is a relative but don't know how to connect him. Was Margaret married before was Croft her married name as this William was born before her marriage to James or was he a brother.I don't know yet." Germaine Cowell 12 aug 2008, ,,,,

Research of Germaine (via Park data base):

James was a miller it seems most of the family were millers. There is James named on the 1831 Southport Directory as the miller in Churchtown. This could be either this James or his Grandfather James. This James in 1841 was a Miller in Wallasey Cheshire his SIL was miller in Churchtown by 1841. He must have passed the mill over to him or left when his Grandfather died. James must have left Churchtown between 1838 and 1841 as Hannah`s son Henry was born 1838 in Crossens, North Meols, Lancashire, England and then William was a labourer. James died in Kirkdale Liverpool at the mill he was then at on Walton Road. He was made a bankrupt in 1843 at the time residing in Wavertree. Looks like he wasn`t very good with money :-)).James died of decline (not certified)..8th Oct. 1844 CHARLES PHILLIPS, Esq. one of Her Majesty`s Vy Commissioners authorized to act under a Fiat in Bankruptcy, bearing date the 21st day of March 1843, awarded and issued forth against James Meadows, of Wavertree, near Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, ?Miller, Dealer and Chapman, will sit on the 31st day-of October instant, at one of the clock, in the afternoon precisely, at the District Court of Bankruptcy, in Liverpool, in order to make a First Dividend of the estate and effects of the said bankrupt; when and where the creditors, who have not already proved their debts, are to come prepared `to prove the same, or they will be excluded the benefit of the said Dividend. And all, claims then proved will be disallowed 18th Nov. 1844 In the Matter of James Meadows, of Wavertree, near Liverpool, in the county of Lancaster, Miller, Dealer and Chapman. 1 HEREBY give notice, that the creditors who have proved their debts under the above estate may receive a First Dividend of 2d. in the pound, upon application at my office, as under, on Wednesday the 13th of November instant, or any subsequent Wednesday, between the hours of eleven and two. No Dividend will be paid without the production of the securities exhibited at the time of proving the debt. Executors and administrators will be required to produce the probate of the will or the letters of administration under which they claim. G. MORGAN, Official Assignee, 12, Cook-street, Liverpool....The site of Wavertree Mill Beverley Road is marked on the Wavertree Enclosure Map of 1768 as an unnamed trackway leading from the present-day Church Road (before the church was built) to what was, even then, regarded as an ancient windmill site. The mill itself stood just behind the pair of modern semis: Nos 35 and 37 Beverley Road. These houses were built in 1986 after the City Council granted planning permission for the mill`s remains to be swept away. A vigorous campaign by the Wavertree Society failed to prevent the development, though it did result in a thorough archaeological investigation of the site, and the relocation of some of the bricks and stone blocks from the mill`s foundations. This material remains on view - in the front gardens of the modern houses - together with an old millstone which was also recovered from the site. Numerous photographs exist of Wavertree Mill in varying states of dereliction, prior to its demolition in 1916. It was a `post mill`, consisting of a circular brick base and an unusually-shaped timber superstructure. The timber part, including the sails, could be turned to face the wind. It revolved around a huge central post, which was supported by four timber `legs` hidden within the brickwork. The stone slabs which survive each supported one of these legs, and the ring of bricks indicates their position in relation to the base. A few yards out from the base was a ring of stone blocks - clearly visible in 1985, but now completely destroyed - on which ran a large cartwheel attached to the end of a wooden pole. This pole projected from the body of the mill, and was the means by which it was turned round. In spite of all the surrounding housing development, and the fact that the remains of the mill have been moved some 15 yards, it is still possible to appreciate why this site was chosen in medieval times for what was one of only four `Kings Mills` in the Liverpool area. The ground slopes away in all directions, ensuring a good flow of wind to the sails. Records indicate the existence of a mill here as long ago as 1452 - a document of 1475 refers to a "mill called Watremylne" - and for almost 200 years it was the property of the Crown. In 1639 Charles I granted it, along with the Township of Wavertree, to Lord Strange, son of the Earl of Derby. Wavertree Mill was valuable property, for it carried with it the power of `soke`: that is the power to seize the produce, or the cart and horses, of any local farmer who refused to bring his corn to be ground. By the eighteenth century - which was the estimated date of the remains uncovered by the archaeological dig - the mill had passed into the hands of the Lord of the Manor, Mr Bamber Gascoyne, who lived at Childwall Hall. The Wavertree Enclosure Act of 1768 prohibited the erection of any house or building, or the planting of any trees or the growth of any existing trees, within 200 yards of the mill "to such a height as to prevent the going of the said windmill". In the nineteenth century this caused problems for Col. James Bourne of Heathfield - the mansion whose grounds were later to be developed by Charles Berrington - for he was very keen on trees and liberally planted them around the perimeter of his estate. Threatened with legal action by the Marquess of Salisbury - Bamber Gascoyne`s successor - Col. Bourne eventually decided to lease the mill himself in order to avoid having to cut down his trees.,, [3, 6]
