Description
Victoria Works is a large textile mill built in 1873 for Henry Mason. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a Welsh-slate roof. It consists of two main blocks, with the left block measuring fifteen bays by six bays and the right block measuring twenty-three bays by six bays. The left block includes a loading bay on the right that projects forward. The right block has a near-central bay with loading doors, featuring a round-arched cart entry with long and short voussoirs on the ground floor and corbelled lintels above the upper-floor loading doors. The industrial windows are taller in the left block and have later casements. The building is adorned with moulded cornices on square brackets and a deep parapet. The corners of the structure are accentuated by round-arched turrets with pedimented tops. Connecting the two blocks is a small contemporary gabled building. Inside, the mill features vaulted ceilings supported by cast-iron columns.
