Former Mill

The former mill in Middleton in Teesdale is a water mill, likely built in the late 18th century. It is constructed of coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a Welsh slate roof. The east elevation faces the stream and is two stories high with three bays, along with a right extension that houses the wheel. There are flat stone lintels above a boarded square opening on the ground floor in the third bay, and similar windows with vertical glazing bars in the second and third bays above. The right extension matches the height of the main structure and has a flat stone lintel over the wheel opening, with paired projecting beams above and a pent roof. Some throughstones are present. The left return features a wide boarded entrance with a Dutch door and a first-floor boarded loft door, both set under flat stone lintels. The interior has not been inspected, but the wheel is visible, complete with wooden buckets and an iron rim.
