GV II
Flax mill, now factories and workshops. c1825 with later extensions and alterations. Red brick with slate and tile roofs and tall brick principal chimney. L-plan extended with further ranges round yard. Main ranges 4 storeys, others 2 storeys. Earlier range to right has 5-window front to East Street, mainly of sashes. On left end 2 tall recessed blank arches, the lower rising up through 2 storeys. Behind this range is the principal chimney and extending to the rear of the site a 13-window range, 23 to exterior, mainly of wooden cross windows. This range extended mid C19, continues across the rear of the site in a similar 16-window range with a 13-window range to the yard. Across the end of this is a cross-wing, 3 windows wide x 7 windows, mainly 3-light wood mullion and transom windows. Extending forward from this cross wing to East Street are a series of lower ranges: a 2-storey range of 9 cross-windows faces the yard with a central doorway on each floor and a 2-storey, 1-bay range has a front to East Street of 7 windows. INTERIOR: the earlier range to right has cast-iron framing of cruciform-plan columns with brick vaults and the rear range is similar but with round columns. Moses Atkinson, a flax spinner, having leased the pre-existing mills, bought the site in 1825 and rebuilt. The main existing ranges appear on the 1847 OS map.
