What is recorded here

Detached twelve-bay three-storey former mill, built c. 1800, with shopfront to east end of ground floor and two single-storey lean-to extensions to rear. Now disused. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, redbrick chimneystacks, cast-iron rainwater goods and dressed limestone eaves course and copings. Rubble limestone walls with dressed limestone quoins. Segmental-headed window openings, alternately blocked, with red brick dressings, one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows to east end and metal casements to west. Segmental-headed opening in ground floor now window. Shopfront to ground floor comprising central door flanked by display windows with smooth render fascia and surrounds to openings.

This former mill is an interesting reminder of the industrial activity which was once associated with the area. Built by Richard Longfield of Longfield House this building has been used for various functions including a barracks. This well-proportioned structure although simple in design is enhanced by use of mixed materials in its construction and by its siting adjacent to Ardmayle Bridge.
