Felton Mill

Felton Mill is a water mill dating from the 18th century and early 19th century. The structure is built of rubble with roughly-tooled and shaped quoins and dressings to the 18th-century section, and tooled-and-margined quoins and dressings to the 19th-century section, except for rock-faced dressings to the millrace openings. The roof is covered in Welsh slate. The plan consists of an 18th-century two-storey range set at right-angles to the river, attached to a 4-storey, L-plan 19th-century section with a 2-storey wing beyond.

The north-west elevation features the main part, which is four and two storeys high with three and two bays respectively. The taller 19th-century section has one ground-floor and two first-floor doors. Window openings have slightly projecting sills and most of the carpentry has been removed. A hipped roof includes a small, stepped and banded lateral stack near the left end. The right part is a gable end of the 18th-century block with two doorways and windows above. All openings are framed by alternating-block surrounds. A two-storey, two-bay 19th-century wing is set back to the left with a metal ridge vent.

The left return shows nine-pane casements and sixteen-pane Yorkshire sashes, with a lower part of the left bays hidden behind the wing. The right return, with seven windows, has a broad, segmental arch to the head-race.

The rear elevation, facing the river, shows a projecting right bay on the 19th-century section. A two-storey, pent-roofed addition on the inner return has a segmental tail-race arch, a sixteen-pane Yorkshire sash, and pigeon holes with alighting shelves in the end wall. A similar tail-race arch is at the foot of the 18th-century range on the left.

At the time of survey, the interior was being remodelled as dwellings, and three undershot waterwheels were in the process of being broken up.
