So she called in Tony and the Team to help her unravel the mystery of their mill. For Professor Mick Aston, the prospect was too good to turn down. As the diggers get to work uncovering the whole of the 18th-century mill, Mick and Stewart take off into the landscape to look for clues from earlier centuries.
