Description
Devonshire Mill is a watermill built in 1808, constructed from brown brick with a pantiled roof. The building stands three storeys high and features five bays. On the ground floor, there are boarded doors in bays 2 and 5, with a sash window featuring glazing bars to the left and 6-pane windows to the right, all set beneath segmental brick arches. The first floor includes a boarded taking-in door under a locumb, with sash windows featuring glazing bars elsewhere. The second floor has a sliding sash window in bay 1, a locumb with windows featuring glazing bars in bay 2, and tilting boarded shutters in bays 3, 4, and 5. The gable has bargeboards on the locumb and plain close verges on the main roof. The machinery is reported to be intact, although it was not inspected during the recent survey.
