Taw River tin blowing mill is an early industrial site located in Devon, south of Tawcroft, representing tin processing activity from the medieval or early post-medieval period. The site comprises the remains of a mill structure associated with tin working, utilising the river for power to operate bellows or other machinery essential to tin smelting and refining operations. Such installations were characteristic of Devon's tin industry, which flourished particularly from the medieval period onwards as the county developed as a significant centre of metal processing. The surviving archaeological evidence of this blowing mill contributes to understanding the technological and economic development of tin manufacture in south-western England during its formative industrial phases.
