Description
Detached multiple-phase double-pile multiple-bay four-storey with attic former corn mill, built c. 1810, with projection to south-west elevation. Now disused and roofless, with stone eaves course. Remains of brick chimneystack to south-east elevation. Coursed rubble limestone walls with dressed limestone quoins and having straight joint to north-west elevation. Square-headed window openings, some with timber lintels. Former millrace and culverts to north-west.
Appraisal
This mill, which forms part of a large industrial complex, retains much of its original form and structure. The building serves as a physical reminder of the industrial and social history of the area. The survival of the mill race and culverts is important as they provided the power sources employed to drive the mill. The double pile elevation to the south-west presents a strong and attractive roadside feature.
