Description

Perseverance Mill is a mill that has been converted into engineering works, built in 1831. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof. The building stands four storeys tall, with its front facing the road characterized by a pediment end gable that contains a plaque reading "PERSEVERANCE MILL ERECTED 1831." Each floor has sill bands, and the façade is symmetrical with three bays. The central bay projects forward and includes three large taking-in doors, with the lowest door reduced to a window. The outer bays are recessed and have windows with lintels but no jambs. The left-hand return wall, which faces the canal, has ten bays of similar windows with projecting sills on each floor, topped by a moulded cornice.

Local climate

Perseverance Mill sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 980 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 78% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 46 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 87% of listed buildings. Of these, 26 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
