Follow the street as it bends to the left again. Another hint to what people did for a living in the village long ago is the name of this lane. It led to a processing plant that extracted oil from cotton seed and linseed. There are three interesting residences here, all close together, yet far apart in age and style. 11 Oil Mill Lane is a classical Greek revival style house from 1840, but the ell was probably built earlier. Lawton Owen, of the tannery business, lived here. Adfer Eddy lived at #12-14 in an ornate Victorian style house built about 1850. The plain house at #5-7 is the village’s oldest mill worker’s tenement, dating from about 1800.
