Taw River tin blowing mill is a post-medieval industrial monument located in Devon, England, approximately 840 metres south of Tawcroft. The site represents tin processing infrastructure associated with the region's tin mining industry, which experienced significant expansion during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The blowing mill would have utilised water power from the Taw River to operate bellows essential for smelting tin ore, a critical stage in the extraction and refining process. The monument survives as archaeological remains that document the technological and economic importance of tin working in Devon during this period of intense mineral extraction and trade.
