Bath Mill

Bath Mill is a former water-powered textile mill located on Bath Lane in Mansfield. It was built between 1822 and 1831, later converted and extended around 1880, with some alterations made in the late 20th century. The mill was originally constructed for producing cotton and lace thread and was later adapted for cotton doubling, functioning as a hosiery mill until approximately 1984.

The building is made of coursed squared rubble with stone dressings and features slate roofs. It has an external square brick factory chimney stack at the northwest corner. The structure consists of four storeys plus garrets, with a range of 20 windows. The windows are primarily 20-pane cast-iron glazing bar casements.

On the west side of the main block, there are 11 windows on each floor arranged in a 1:10 pattern, although some ground-floor windows have been blocked. The left gable shows a blank first floor, with three blank spaces above and a smaller window inserted between the left pair. Above this, there is a central window flanked by single blanks, and a single central window in the garret. Below, there are two windows to the left and a door to the right.

The two-storey central block has six windows, with the second and fifth blocked and the sixth boarded. Below this block, there is an off-centre cart entrance with a wooden lintel, flanked by a single window with a basement opening to the left and two windows to the right. To the left, a gabled three-storey staircase projection has single windows on the upper floors, and below it, there is a late 20th-century door. To the right, there is a gable with two late 20th-century windows, and below, two casements are flanked by single doors. The rear elevation has similar window arrangements.

Inside, the mill features a king post truss roof. The building was originally designed for textile production and has significant historical value in the context of industrial archaeology in the East Midlands.
