Former Chapel Mills, American Wharf, Elm Street, Southampton - Southampton, City of (UA)
Rare survival of former steam mill, 1781 and 1800, built to produce ship's biscuits for the Navy. Built of brick with mainly concrete tiled roofs. Now partly used as a sail loft [East] and part vacant [West], suffering from longstanding lack of regular maintenance. Eastern part re-roofed in 2022 including gutter repairs, and internal structural repairs to timber posts and beams. Planning Permission granted for repair and residential conversion of Western part, but permanent repairs not yet implemented.
