17/09/1900 – Dundee Evening Telegraph – Boy killed by a waterwheel. A very distressing accident occurred at Tilework Sawmills, Inverarity, about three o’clock yesterday afternoon, which resulted in the death of Claude Sharp, 7 years of age, son of Mr John Sharp head gamekeeper, Fothringham. It appears that the boy, accompanied by one of his brothers and other companions, went out for a walk and proceeded to the sawmills, where the elder ones amused themselves by turning the waterwheel. Claude was looking on and had apparently been leaning too far over as the wheel came round. His head was caught and jammed against an upright post. Death appeared to have been instantaneous, the neck being dislocated. An elder brother was sent for, and the latter conveyed the body home. Much sympathy is felt for Mr Sharp and his family in their sad bereavement.
1901 – The site at this time consists of a sawmill and a curling pond.
