SD8332SE HAMMERTON STREET 906-1/19/69 (East side) 03/06/91 Proctors' Works with attached chimney (Formerly Listed as: HAMMERTON STREET Proctors Ironworks)
GV II
Formerly known as: Cow Lane Cotton Factory HAMMERTON STREET. Cotton spinning mill, subsequently iron works. Built between 1827 and 1844, with engine house and chimney added between 1844 and 1851; late C19 additions to the front and south end, including offices and a large crosswing which was formerly a roller skating rink with a provision store in the basement. Mostly unoccupied at time of survey (1991). Coursed squared sandstone, with slate roofs. PLAN: the principal element is a rectangular spinning block built on the west bank of the River Calder; with a rectangular engine house a short distance from the north end (now linked to it by infilling); and a chimney very close to the west side of this. EXTERIOR: the spinning block is a 4-storey 8-window range, the west front mostly covered by later additions built in the former yard, and the rear (overlooking the river) with vertical rectangular windows which have raised sills and plain lintels, and a tall round-headed window close to the north end, all these windows now blocked with brick. It has gable copings with kneelers. A full-height one-window link of random rubble joins the spinning block to the 4-storey 2-window boiler house, which has similar windows in the rear wall but at the front has remains of one semicircular arch at ground floor level, and 3 loading doorways above this. The chimney, approximately 0.5m from the front of the boiler house, is circular with 20 metal straps and a massive square plinth. INTERIOR: the spinning block has wooden floors carried on wooden beams supported by a single row of cast-iron columns in the centre of each floor; the engine house has been remodelled, with iron beams to the floors; and the former skating rink incorporates a spectators' gallery round a well.
