Petit Bôt "is an exquisite glen, exceedingly narrow, and shut in by high fern-clad slopes, down which an excellent zigzag road is carried to the little bay at the bottom. There is a mill here... the only house in the glen, where a simple lunch of bread and butter may be obtained."

The mill mentioned by Bevan must have been the Old Mill House, prop. W. H. Budden. At some point in the early 1900s he published at least six postcards of different views of Petit Bôt, collected here. At other times there have been a number of buildings in the bottom of Petit Bôt Valley, and it's possible to see most of them on early 20th century postcards.
