Description
Aizlewood's Mill is a corn mill, later converted into offices and industrial units, dating to 1847. It was designed by William Flockton of Sheffield, for John Aizlewood. Later 19th-century additions were made, and the mill was restored and converted in 1989. Constructed of red brick, the building features hipped and gabled slate roofs.
The main block has bracketed eaves and a panelled parapet. It is six storeys high with a ten-window range, arranged in an L-shape. The east front, facing Nursery Lane, has nine segment-headed tripartite windows. Eight bays have loft doors and balconies at various levels. The upper floors feature round-headed tripartite windows with loft doors and balconies. Sunken panels, round-headed on the upper floors alternating with square panels, link the openings across the upper four floors. The ground floor includes a large round-headed carriage entrance and several 20th-century doors and windows.
The north front, facing Spitalfields, mirrors the east front's fenestration, with round-headed sunken panels linking the windows. The ground floor has round-headed windows. A projecting six-storey wing fronts Nursery Street, with three tripartite windows on each floor, linked by sunken panels on the lower floors. The return side has fenestration similar to the front elevations, with round-headed openings on the ground floor. The inner courtyard of the main block features similar fenestration, and includes a tall square brick chimney stack, a glazed door with a metal canopy, and a carriage opening. Two mid-19th century additions, three storeys high, are located within the courtyard, displaying brick bands, tripartite windows in round-headed openings, and gable detailing including round windows.
Inside, the mill retains cast-iron Doric columns supporting wooden beams, and a queen post truss roof with cast-iron joints. The top floor contains a mid-20th century hopper, worm, and cyclone system, and at the north end, a stairwell with a belt-type grain elevator.
