SE2932 BACK DERWENT STREET 714-1/42/22 (East side) Boundary wall of Marshall Mills, with workshop and railings
GV II
Wall, railing and workshop. c1808 and 1850 with later C19 alterations. For John Marshall's flax spinning mill. Coursed squared grey gritstone and gritstone rubble wall, wrought-iron railing, brick outbuilding (English Garden Wall bond), with grey slate roof built against east side of wall. Wall approx 3m high with flat coping ramped down to railing at north end; overall length approx 50m. Railings: standard and 3 rails with triple points attached to north end of wall by an iron bar. Workshop: single storey, 2 doors and 3 windows; added bay to left. Stone window sills, brick wedge lintels. HISTORICAL NOTE: in 1808 John Marshall extended his flax mill by building the warehouse on the south side of Hol Beck. The wall was probably built at that time, but the alignment was altered to accommodate a row of back-to-back houses, Kellet's Row, in what is now Back Derwent Street, also called Brunswick Street. The workshop was part of a long line of buildings in the yard by 1866. (Grady K: Leeds Civic Trust Historic Plaques: Temple Mill: 1989-).
