Mill Building At Former Prospect Mill

The mill office building at the former Prospect Mill is a mid-19th century structure made of ashlar stone with a Westmorland slate roof. It is one storey high with a basement and consists of four bays. The building features a moulded plinth band and the bays are defined by rusticated pilasters topped with an entablature that has a dentilled cornice and a blocking course that projects over the pilasters. Each bay has round-arched openings framed by architraves, complete with keystones and imposts. On the right side, there is a six-panel door with a fanlight above it, adorned with a keystone shaped like a ram's head, while the other bays have sash windows. The roof is hipped with a central stack. On the right return, there are two bays with round-arched sashes beneath moulded heads that also feature keystones and a continuous hoodmould. The eaves have a stepped band. This building was formerly associated with Prospect Mill, an early 19th-century worsted mill that has mostly been demolished.
