Haughton Mill House, Haughton Mill Cottage And Storage Building Between

Haughton Mill House, Haughton Mill Cottage, and the storage building between them are part of a former paper mill complex established in 1788 by Captain William Smith. The cottage at the west end dates from the mid-19th century. The buildings now serve as two dwellings with a garage and storage area located between and partly above them. They are constructed from squared stone with a brick first floor, featuring cut and tooled quoins and dressings, while the cottage is made of coursed rubble with tooled-and-margined dressings. The roofs are covered with Welsh slate, except for the eaves of the main building, which have stone slates, and there are brick stacks.

The south elevation of the main part is two storeys high, with a layout of five bays, followed by three bays, and then four bays, featuring a slightly forward-set pedimented center. The central entrance has a flush-panelled door surrounded by a rusticated frame with a heavy triple keystone. The ground floor has 16-pane sash windows, some of which have been renewed, set under wedge lintels. The first-floor drying shed has large wood-slatted openings, with the central one being round-arched, while some openings on the right side have been bricked up and replaced with 12-pane sashes, two of which are renewed. The roof is hipped with two ridge stacks and a flanking stack on the right.

To the left, the cottage is two storeys tall and has two bays. It features a central rebated segmental arch with a Yorkshire sash window and a 6-pane overlight. There is a fixed 12-pane casement window on the left, and 4-pane sashes on the right and in the gabled half dormers above. The ends have stepped-and-banded stacks. The buildings are included for their group value.

Historically, French assignats were forged here in 1793 to devalue the currency of the revolutionary French government. The mill ceased operations by 1888.
