Description

The Former West Bridge Mills, built around 1850 and designed by architect William Flint, is a large rectangular factory building made of purple bricks with a slate hipped roof. It features modillions along the eaves soffit and a stuccoed frieze, along with gabled dormers. The structure has five storeys and an attic.

On the east side, there are nine windows, with a three-window projection on the left and a narrow projection on the right. The windows are set under segmental brick arches and feature metal frames with glazing bars. An Italianate style tower, made of red brick, rises from the roof off centre, showcasing three-light round-arched bell openings and a modillion cornice leading to a pyramidal roof topped with an ornate wind-vane. The ground, first, and second floors of the east elevation are obscured by a later addition. The left-hand return has four windows, while the right-hand return has two windows. The west elevation displays fourteen windows and has bands at the first and third floor levels.
