Appraisal
Built in the late nineteenth century, St. Patricks Woollen Mill operated until the 1970s. This building is an important reminder of the industrial heritage and commercial development of the area. Together with the other historic buildings in the complex and several terraces of houses in the area, these buildings form an attractive group that is recognisable by its use of red and yellow brick, and which contributes much to the character of the area.
