13/153 Thornthwaite Mill II Corn mill and mill house, now house and storage. Early-mid C19. Coursed squared gritstone, graduated stone slate roof. 2 storeys, approximately 8 bays; a long range composed of (left to right): 2- or 3-bay offices and storage, 5-bay mill range with wheel-house to rear, and right bay projecting and gabled, and a 2-bay miller's house far right. Facade: ground floor of offices - doorway with tie-stones and a C20 window; 2 part-blocked windows in plain surrounds above. Mill range: a wide board door in tie-stone surround, 4-pane sash to left, 25-pane sash to right, both in plain stone surrounds. Door flanked by windows also to first floor, the window to left enlarged mid C20. Projecting bay: part-blocked window in front bowed wall, ground floor; sash with glazing bars above; both have large flush sill and lintel. Projecting band and semicircular recess to pedimented gable. Mill house: (main range, far right) - C20 glazed door with tie-stone jambs, mid C20 frames in original stone surrounds to windows. Shaped kneelers and gable copings, end stacks. Interior: central section only examined: ground floor - stone blocks set in flooring with recesses for framework of missing machinery. Large timbers support first floor, some possibly reused. Wheel- house against rear wall has remains of overshot wheel, in derelict condition. First floor: trap doors and stairs in straight flights. Roof structure: double queen strut roof with notched carpenters marks, 3 trusses over central range, one over house. The 1851 and 1871 censuses record that the building was then a corn mill with Ralph and William Umpleby the millers. The brick building to rear was built probably when the building was used by Fernbeck Dairies, late C19 - mid C20. A barn next to the mill was converted to a dwelling mid C20.
