Mill Race
The Watermill (formerly Broughton Mill)
(Formerly listed as Broughton Mill, A59)
II
Mill, formerly a cornmill and currently inactive (at time of listing) later converted into offices, late C18 with C19 additions and enlargement. Rubble with stone slate roof. Four storeys.
The east face is divided by a straight joint near the centre which suggests that the northern part is the older. This is in random rubble. The windows are three-light recessed square mullion windows, except to top storey which appears to date from the time of the southern enlargement. The southern portion has more even rubble courses and windows are square single lights. There is a semicircular arched cart entry. The southern gable has a sundial inscribed "John Smith 1823" (the name of the Broughton Estate mason) but the vermiculated surround to the bulls eye window suggests a later date. Inside are massive beams and joists and bolted queen-post trusses.
