From: A History of the County of Middlesex: Volume 3. Originally published by Victoria County History, London, 1962:

Pound Mill derived its name from the neighbouring parish pound. The first reference found to it dates from 1747, when it was acquired by John Finch, mealman. Although it was then said to be newly erected, its ownership can be traced back to 1682 and in 1916 part of the machinery was dated 1712. Unlike Hale Mill, Pound Mill continued to be worked by the Finch family until it passed out of their hands.

In the 19th century part of the mill was used to grind flour, but its chief business, carried on latterly under the name of Finch, Rickman & Co., was making mustard. The mill employed a considerable number of people in the mid-19th century, but its business seems to have declined by 1900, when it was sold. It continued to be used as a mill until 1912, and in 1916 it was purchased by the Linoleum Manufacturing Company who soon afterwards demolished it.
