Description
Heatherslaw Mill is an 18th-century corn mill that was extended and remodeled around 1830. It is constructed of random rubble with stone dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. The building stands three stories tall and features five bays, with a lower five-bay granary located at the rear.
On the right side, there are two low segmental arches that lead through the mill. The windows are 12-pane casements, and the roof is a double-span hipped style. On the left side, stone stairs with iron railings provide access to boarded doors on the first and second floors.
Inside, the mill operates as a double mill with two wooden undershot wheels powering two sets of machinery. The upper mill is fully operational and retains all its machinery from the 1830s, while the lower mill is intact but awaits restoration. The former granary at the rear has been converted into a café and storage space.
