Corsewall Mill Bridge is the only remaining feature of the Corsewall Mill site. Corsewall Mill, now demolished, was situated to the west. Donnachie describes it as "an interesting water-power site" with a "large multi-level, three/four-storey mill complex" dating from the late 18th century; he further states that "it has been a very large and important mill locally". The mill lade enters Corsewall Burn to the west of Corsewall Mill Bridge.
