Description
Earle Mill is a watermill dating from the 18th century and early 19th century. It is constructed of random rubble and features a Welsh slate roof along with a pantiled roof. The building has an L-shaped plan and stands three storeys tall.
To the right, there is a 19th-century drying kiln with a low square entrance and a small window located below the eaves, topped with a hipped slate roof. The mill to the left has a central doorway, two empty windows on the first floor, and one small window on the second floor, all beneath a hipped pantiled roof.
The recessed wing to the left was used as a granary and is two storeys high, featuring a boarded door on the ground floor and a pitching door above, with a gabled slate roof. On the left side, there is a segmental-arched cart entry.
Inside, the mill contains an iron overshot mill wheel along with much of the gearing and other machinery. At the time of the survey, the mill was partly derelict.
