What is recorded here

Detached six-bay five-storey flour mill, c.1775, with single-bay five-storey gabled higher end bay with attic to left, and single-bay five-storey gabled advanced lower end bay to right. In use as corn mill, 1903. Mostly reroofed, c.1950. Now disused. Pitched slate roofs with sections of replacement corrugated-iron, c.1950, clay ridge tiles, rendered coping, and remains of cast-iron rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Remains of unpainted roughcast walls over random rubble limestone construction. Square-headed window openings with no sills, concealed dressings (some supporting dressed limestone voussoirs), and remains of timber fittings. Set back from road on bank overlooking River Blackwater.
At one time representing one of fourteen industrial centres supporting the local agricultural economy a substantial mill forms an important element of the architectural heritage of Kilmacow and the environs. Although long decommissioned the retention of many of the original composition attributes together with some of the historic fabric maintains much of the integrity of the site in the rural landscape.
