Description

Larchfield Mills is a spinning mill with attached weaving sheds, built between 1865 and 1866 for George Brook, with additions made around 1880 and some 20th-century alterations. The structure is constructed from coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof. The mill building has double ridge hipped roofs with dentilated eaves and stands five storeys tall, measuring four windows wide and sixteen windows long. The ground and first-floor windows have segmental heads, and all windows are fitted with rough stone cills and lintels. Some original windows remain on the south side's ground floor and on the first and second floors on the north side.

The south front includes a stair tower with a taking-in door on each floor on the east front, which has been extended upwards by an additional floor. The weaving sheds, located to the southeast, are connected to the mill by a single-storey addition and a two-storey bridge leading to an elevator tower. The weaving sheds are two storeys high and built over a basement, featuring nine gables with coping; the roofs are stone slate on the west side and glazed on the east. The north front has thirty-five windows with rock-faced cills and lintels. The narrow east front has a single central taking-in door on each floor, with the first-floor door partly filled by a window. The south street front displays four windows per gable, all with flush ashlar lintels and raised ashlar cills. The second gable features a large doorway with double panel doors, surrounded by raised ashlar and topped with a moulded hood. The fifth and final gable has taking-in doors on each floor.
