The oak trees at Blaxton Creek, River Tavy, Devon The Mill was built in 1822 and was in operation until the late 19th century. Its floodgates allowed the incoming tidal water to flood the mill pond which, according to the parish tithe map of 1839, once covered some 9 acres.  At low tide, not only is it possible to see the remains of the floodgates, but you can also cross the mouth of the Creek to explore the ruins.banks of Blaxton Creek, a tributary of the River Tavy. Before us, Blaxton Quay, the ruins of Blaxton Mill and the nearby triple lime kilns. Â
