Booth Hollings Mill

Booth Hollings Mill is a woollen mill, now used for agricultural purposes, dating from the late 18th century with a 19th-century wing. It is built from hammer-dressed watershot stone and has a slate roof. The mill features a deep two-storey range that originally housed an internal water-wheel at the west end. The later wing at the rear creates an L-shaped layout. There is a segmental-arched cart entry, which is now blocked and has a keystone. The building has two doors with dressed surrounds and five windows with square-cut surrounds. A recessed flat-faced mullion window with king mullions runs the full length of the upper floor, but is now mostly blocked with a door inserted. The mill has a gable chimney stack and a lean-to addition on the right gable. The eight-bay wing at the rear has window openings with stone lintels and sills, and it includes a boiler room and engine house, topped by a heavy square chimney that breaks through the ridgeline. Inside, the mill has single-span floors supported at the center, with domestic quarters in one corner and the wheel housing still remaining. The roof features king-post trusses. The mill was used for bleaching and fulling in the mid-19th century.
