24-34, THORNGATE

This building, known as Nos. 24-34 Thorngate, is a former carpet manufacturing mill that has been converted into flats. It was built in 1846 for Joshua Monkhouse and Sons. The structure is made of coursed, roughly squared sandstone with pecked irregular quoins and ashlar dressings, topped with a roof of stone slates and featuring stone and brick chimneys.

The mill has three high storeys and a twelve-window range. The ground floor has 20th-century half-glazed doors in several bays, specifically in bays 2, 6, 7, 10, and 12, all with flat stone lintels. There are similar lintels and projecting stone sills for small plain sashes in the third and fourth bays. The first two bays feature mullioned-and-wide-transomed windows, while the remaining bays contain 4-pane sashes. The fifth bay has paired lights on the ground floor.

On the first floor, in the eighth bay, there is a blocked loading door with a window inserted. Additionally, there is a blocked high elliptical vehicle arch above the door and window of No. 26, with an inscribed stone plaque located above this at the second-floor level. The roof includes two end chimneys made of stone and three later intermediate chimneys made of brick. The interior has not been inspected.
