Description
Victoria Mills consists of the east and north-east ranges of an oil and dye ware mill, now used as industrial buildings. The mill was built in 1836, with additional construction in the mid-19th century and later alterations. It is made of red brick with a slate roof and features various brick stacks. The building has an L-plan layout with a wing extending to the rear left and stands four to five storeys tall, presenting a six-window range facing Sovereign Street. The windows are mainly two-light casements with top lights, along with three first-floor sash windows on the right, all featuring gauged brick arches.
To the right, there is a carriageway arch that leads to a yard, while smaller arches resembling a blind arcade are found on the left and right, filled with windows and doors. Hoist doors are located to the left. The projection on the far left is part of the rear wing, which dates back to 1836. The left side elevation has a total of thirteen windows, featuring two and three-light windows, with the front corner canted. The end gable facing the River Aire has a four-window range, with central hoist doors on each storey, a pedimented gable with a datestone at the apex, flanked by scrolls, stone coping, and scroll kneelers. Most openings have slightly cambered brick arches. The fenestration within the yard is similar but features smaller openings.
The interior has not been inspected. The earlier wing was constructed in 1836 by the Victoria Ware Company, which occupied the site until 1843. The next occupant was the Victoria Mill Company, which was in residence until around 1865, and this wing appears to have been built by 1847. Historical maps indicate that Victoria Mills was associated with linseed production.
