Description

Alma Mill is a silk weaving mill built around 1823, with early 20th-century additions. It is constructed of brick and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has three storeys and a basement, arranged in eight by three bays. The gable faces the street and features stepped coping, with a flat-roofed extension to the right over the loading bays. There is a doorway with a roll moulded architrave on the ground floor, and loading doors with a hoist above the entrance. The gable has three windows and a single light in the apex, with transomed windows that have flat-arched brick heads. At the rear gable, there is a small angled projection known as a privy tower.

Inside, the structure includes cast-iron columns that support timber beams. There is a staircase located immediately behind the loading area next to the entrance. To the right of the street-facing gable, there is an early 20th-century office building that is single-storeyed, featuring a doorway to the left and two windows. Originally, the mill was designed for hand finishing or processing of silk, but an engine house, which no longer exists, was added by 1871.
