Description
Old Abbey Mill is a mill that was remodeled in the early 19th century, originally built in the 18th century. The lower parts are made of squared stone, while the upper sections are constructed of brick in English Garden Wall bond 1 and 5, featuring cut stone quoins, lintels, and sills. The roof is covered with pantiles.
The east elevation has two storeys above a basement and consists of five bays. There are three steps leading up to a boarded door located at the right end, along with 12-pane Yorkshire sash windows. Additionally, there are two small basement windows and a pair of keyed round arches leading to the tail goit. Adjacent to the mill is the Mill House.
Inside, there is an undershot waterwheel that has been partly rebuilt. Historically, the mill was originally a fulling mill and was reopened in 1834 by the Ashton brothers as a cloth mill, operating until 1947.
