Mill Chimney And Attached Engine House West Of Junction With Calder Vale Road

This is a mill chimney and an attached former engine house, located west of the junction with Calder Vale Road in Burnley. The structure dates from the later 19th century and has been altered over time. It is built from coursed squared sandstone and features a slate roof on the engine house. The chimney is slightly tapered and cylindrical in shape. The engine house is small and rectangular, consisting of one high storey. It has a gabled facade with two windows facing Ashfield Road and a three-window side wall on the east. The windows are round-headed, with plain voussoirs and arched and circular wooden tracery in their heads, although some of the east side windows are partly obscured by a lower addition. The chimney is located close to the British Railways Viaduct, creating a striking visual relationship between the two when viewed from a distance. This structure is included for its group value.
