Site of 19th Century mill and quay, originally owned by Messrs Mitchell and Rae, recently demolished to make way for a residential development. The mill was a 3-storey brick building with segmentally arched windows and a flat kiln with vent. The granary building was a 3-storey, 19-window structure built with a pine frame with a centre row of cast-iron columns, clad in corrugated iron. It had a queen-post roof with an early automatic belt conveyor system within the posts. It had a concrete gable, and an interesting system of firebreaks between the kiln, mill and granary. The quay was part concrete faced, with some 1 and 2-storey rubble warehouses on it. It was set on a tidal islet with a causeway connection to the mainland. Newburgh's utility as a harbour has been prejudiced by unstable littoral sands and shallow and obstructed water. A photographic survey was carried out in 2005 in advance of demolition.
