Description

This is a small weaving factory built in the early 19th century, located adjacent to Bankfield. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone and features a stone slate roof, stone brackets for the gutters, and ashlar stacks on the east side. The building has three storeys and a basement on the south side.

The south elevation includes a basement with three six-panel doors, one three-light window, and one single-light window. The entrance floor has six-light windows on either side of two central openings; the left-hand opening is blocked and now has a window, while the right-hand side features a six-panel door. The first floor has one thirteen-light window and one five-light window, and the second floor has a central three-light window with a six-light window on the other side.

On the north elevation, the first floor has one ten-light window and one six-light stone mullioned window, which may have originally been part of a sixteen-light window. The second floor features a central three-light window with one six-light stone mullioned window on each side. The west gable is coped and has loading doors on each floor, arranged vertically.

Access to the entrance floor on the south side is via stone steps leading to a stone platform supported by large brackets, with plain iron railings around the steps and platform. All windows have glazing bars, and some lights are fitted with sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
