Flitcham Mill disappeared a long time ago and the only trace is the old waterway.

It was possibly a flaxmill as one was recorded nearby.

On the other side of Flitcham (from the Priory), where the road runs over it, the Babingley River flows secretly through a growth of dead loosestrife, agrimony and brambles, but near the disused flax factory, further west it is clear and wide. 'No Fishing' reads the notice, near the old mill house, which is now adapted for modern usage. There is a fine millpond behind, for though the Babingley may be a humble stream, its power was enough to turn the wheels of industry before other mechanical devices were available.
