mill (water)

Detached thirteen-bay two-storey former mill, built c. 1820, now in disuse, with block at north-west projecting to form L-plan. Flight of rendered steps to south-west elevation. Pitched slate roof. Roughcast render over coursed rubble sandstone masonry walls. Square-headed window openings with timber fittings. Elliptical-headed carriage arches to front elevation with carved sandstone voussoirs, having projecting keystone. Pair of square profile rubble limestone masonry piers with corrugated-iron gate and coursed rubble limestone boundary walls.

This mill retains much of its original form and structure. The solidly constructed buildings are enlivened by the carriage arches with finely carved sandstone voussoirs which make an aesthetically interesting textural contrast against the roughcast rendered walls. The mill is enhanced by the retention of many features and materials such as the slate roof and rubble limestone masonry piers with boundary walls. The site serves as a reminder of the area's industrial past.
