The Little Stour powered four watermills, at Littlebourne, Wickhambreaux and Ickham.

===Navigation===
The stretch of the river downstream from the mills and wharf at Seaton, in the parish of Ickham, was made navigable at some time prior to 1831. As a consequence it was sometimes referred to as the Seaton Navigation.<ref>{{cite book | first = Priestley | last = Joseph | title = Historical Account of the Navigable Rivers, Canals and Railways of Great Britain | year = 1831 | publisher = Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green | location = London | pages = [https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_eUqIucVmZjwC/page/n147 131]–137 | url = https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_eUqIucVmZjwC| quote = river stour priestley 1831. | accessdate = 2010-03-15 }}</ref>
