Description
Waters Green New Mill is a former silk manufacturing mill, now used as commercial premises, built in 1875 with later additions. The structure is made of brick and features a stone-flagged roof. Internally, it has cast-iron columns that support timber beams and a timber king post roof. The mill has four storeys and an eight-window range. It displays red and yellow banded brick heads above 16-pane windows, with the ground-floor windows replaced in their original openings, one of which has been enlarged to create a doorway. There are paired round-headed doorways located at the lower right. White brick string courses run between the storeys, and there is a domestic-type stack on the left-hand gable. The rear of the building has various later extensions.
