Description
Bollington Mill is a corn mill dating from the 1860s, constructed of brick with a slate roof. The mill is situated across the River Bollin and was originally powered by an undershot waterwheel. It comprises five bays by two, with five storeys, the central bay projecting slightly and topped with a small gablet. The roof is hipped and features double corbel-banded eaves. Window surrounds are characterised by segmental arches, keystones and rusticated jambs, all executed in painted brick. A lean-to addition, constructed of timber and iron, now obscures the original rusticated doorway. The side elevations replicate this window treatment, with a 20th-century lean-to against the left side. The rear elevation is simpler, lacking the window detailing but including an arched opening with rusticated voussoirs and keystone over the mill leat, which remains intact.
