II
Silk mills, one disused at time of survey, the other in partial use as textile factory. c1830-40, in 2 phases. Northern building probably the earliest on the site. Brick with Welsh slate roofs. A third mill to the north of the site was demolished c1990. Northern building: 4 storeys, 13-window range to long rear elevation, with wide, angled gable. Mill Lane elevation a 13-window range, interrupted by projecting privy tower, and with angled wing projecting to right, with square section chimney in the internal angle of the wing. Continuous roof lighting, suggesting use of attic as workspace. Mill to south: 5 storeys, 14-window range to rear. 7-window range to front, with added tower for lifts projecting to the left. New loading bay in rear elevation, and wood mullioned and transomed windows with flat-arched brick heads and stone sills. Base of chimney survives against angled wall to south east corner of site. INTERIORS: internal structures not seen, but probably cast-iron columns carrying timber beams. Although the complex does not survive complete (ancillary buildings and engine houses now demolished), the two mills represent an interesting example of larger-scale development for silk manufacture.
