GV II

Flour mills, now warehouses, etc, and partly unoccupied at time of survey. 1896, by William Waddington. Red brick (part now painted), 4-span slate roof. Irregular plan within a square, on structural axis parallel to Egerton Street, with north end to Bridgewater Canal and integral canal basin entered through shipping hole. Utilitarian style with Italianate features. Four storeys over basement, plus a tower and campanile-style chimney; with pilastered facades of 6 unequal bays to Egerton Street and 4 unequal gables at the south end. Each bay has a Lombard frieze, the first 5 to Egerton Street with pairs of windows and the 6th bay with 3 windows, mostly segmental-headed except for a single round-headed opening from ground to 1st floor of the 1st bay and all those at top floor which are square-headed and shorter; all basement openings and most ground floor windows now blocked. South return wall has a wide 3-bay gable with central flat, then a 2-bay gable, and two single-bay gables, all completely altered at ground floor but otherwise with fenestration like that at the front except the top floor which has stepped round-headed windows. The north end has (inter alia) a large shipping hole; and a square sprinkler tower with narrow 2-bay sides which have round-headed lancets and corbel tables, a machicolated parapet (enclosing the water tank), and a square chimney at the north east corner in similar style. Interior (as reported by GMAU 1989): intact loading and unloading facilities for canal boats; timber floors supported by steel beams and cast-iron columns; disused pump in basement for artesian well. Included as unusually complete example of flour mill related to canal.
