Long Whatton Mill And Bridge Over Stream

A watermill and adjoining bridge, likely dating to 1753. The mill is constructed of red brick with remnants of a Swithland slate roof and coped gables. It has three storeys and a loft. Features include cogged and dentil brick eaves, a band course across the gable at eaves level, and window openings with segmental heads on the south-east gable; the ground floor windows are boarded up, and the second-floor window retains one shutter. An outshot extends over the mill stream on the left side, while the right side has a board door leading to the first floor and a ground floor entry enclosed by a later two-storey lean-to. The mill machinery includes a spindle of the mill wheel, part of a main wooden shaft, dislodged millstones, and fragments of hoppers. The mill is currently in a derelict condition. In front of the mill is a contemporary bridge with rubble stone retaining walls, a segmental brick arch, and remains of a brick parapet. The mill operated until the 1930s.
