Altgeder, Nassington's, Shut Lane or Whitefriars' Mill lay on the River Sherbourne south of Gosford Bridge at the point where the present Gulson Road crosses the river. In existence by c.1200, the mill was acquired by the Benedictine priory in the city-centre (not the Carmelite friary nearby) and eventually passed to the corporation in 1573. Although in a decayed state during the seventeenth century, the mill was subsequently leased and was rebuilt in c.1800; condemned for health reasons in 1841, it might have survived as a steam mill, being marked on maps until 1925 and its site until 1940.
