History
Blue Mill was built at Garton as a wind-powered tower corn mill in the nineteenth century. The mill is associated with a mid-1820s construction date, although another industrial heritage entry gives a site date around 1840. The tower stands near Blue Hall Farm on the B1242.
It later ceased milling but survived as a substantially intact disused structure. The former mill is protected as a Grade II listed building and remains one of the surviving tower mills of the East Riding of Yorkshire.
