Pair of detached five-bay five-storey mills, built c.1840. In roofless condition. Random coursed limestone and sandstone walls with remains of roughcast render. Square-headed window openings with yellow brick reveals and limestone sills. Square-headed door openings with yellow brick reveals. Derelict single- and two-storey outbuildings to yard.
These imposing mills survive as physical reminders of the importance of milling in the rural economy. Mill races from the River Barrow encouraged much industrial activity in the area and nearby mills included Fanure Corn Mill and Millpark Mills.
