Description

Warwick Mill, built in 1907 by G. Stott of J. Stott and Sons, is a cotton mill located on Middleton Oldham Road. The mill is constructed of red brick and features an internal cast-iron frame. It consists of 40 x 14 bays, rises to five storeys with a basement, and has an engine-house attached at the rear. Notable architectural elements include a continuous sill band at the first and fourth floors, a machicolated eaves frieze, and stepped brick detailing above the fourth-floor windows. The windows, set between plain brick pilasters, have all had their frames replaced.

The water tower, which rises two stages above the stone-coped parapet, features three windows with tripartite keystones that are integrated into a stone band. The mill's name is displayed in white glazed tiles on the upper stage, which also includes an eaves cornice and a brick parapet in front of a steep pyramidal roof topped with an iron crowning. The corners of the tower are balanced by brick pilasters and a pierced parapet that rises above a stone cornice.

The engine-house, measuring 4 x 1 bays, has semi-circular-arched stone-dressed openings with archivolt and tripartite keystones, along with stone bands, corner pilasters, and a coped parapet above a stone cornice. Although the engine has been removed, the glazed wall tiling remains. The internal structure features a twin jack-arch system supported by cylindrical cast-iron columns. The front railings incorporate Art Nouveau motifs.
