Associated with the Cruse Estate and an early water mill.
Henry Bull's Cottage is situated on a 5.7 hectare lot occupying a valley formed by a small stream which flows into Ellen brook. The valley runs on a north-south axis. At its northern end the brook has been dammed with an earth wall. A sluice gate in this wall allowed water to flow into the millrace which follows high ground at the west slope of the valley for some 500 metres until it delivered to the mill.
The mill weir was part of one of the few water mills built in the early years of the colony and is associated with the builder and miller, William Cruse, and also the Barrett-Lennard family, which from 1897 used the water for irrigating vineyards.
