Springs Farm Barn And Mill

Springs Farm Barn and Mill is a building from the mid to late 19th century, partially converted into a mill. The mill machinery was installed by Wakes and Lamb of Newark for Colonel Wilson of Hexgreave Park. The structure is made of red brick with a plain tile roof that is hipped to the left. It has two storeys and four bays.

On the façade, there is a doorway with a large double plank door. To the right, there is a single segmental arched opening with a wooden shutter. To the left, a single flight of brick and ashlar steps leads to a doorway at the front. Slightly projecting from the steps is a lean-to made of red brick and pantile, which has a doorway with a plank door flanked by single slit ventilators. Above this is a small opening with a wooden shutter, and to the left, there is another doorway with a plank door, as well as an opening with a wooden shutter on the far left.

To the right of the barn, there is a single-storey, single-bay wing with a hipped pantile roof and a single segmental arched opening. To the left of the barn, projecting out, is a one-and-a-half-storey, single-bay wing made of red brick with a plain tile roof, featuring a small segmental arched doorway with a plank door. Above this doorway is an opening with a wooden plank panel, which includes some entrances for pigeons. This wing houses the iron water wheel.

At the rear of the barn, there are single-storey cow sheds and stables that form a quadrangle with a covered crew yard. In front of the left bays of the barn, there is a footbridge with a red brick parapet coped with blue brick. The interior contains most of the machinery for driving the grinding stones, including the Great Spur Wheel and stone nuts, as well as a straw chopper and a handle to operate the sluice gate.
