Mill in Oldbridge

Detached eight-bay four-storey watermill, built c.1850, with four-bay north elevation and three-bay south elevation. Pitched slate roofs with recent roof-lights and recent rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls to east and south elevations, rubble sandstone elsewhere, with roughly dressed quoins. Segmental-headed windows, having brick surrounds to north gable, with limestone sills and replacement timber casement windows. Two windows in north gable converted to doorways, with replacement timber doors and over-lights. Vehicular entrance doorway to east elevation. Mill race runs along north side of building.

This watermill is one of the best preserved of an important group of industrial structures on Stretches Island and Suir Island. Recently renovated for apartments, it presents its north gable to the town, across the Suir. This building, together with the weir and bridge, provide a pleasant approach to the islands and to the Oldbridge area.
