Thanks to all that have viewed this post I have located what I believe is the possible location of Bill Mill Cottage, which is on the western, side of the Hope Mansell valley, Knacker's Hole, occupying the end of a ridge above the buildings called Bill Mill, was formerly a detached part of Lea Bailey tithing. In 1812 it contained three cottages,one on the crest of the ridge and the others presumably lower down to the north-east, where three cottages, including a pair, stood in 1840
