Description

The Mill Farm is an early 19th-century corn mill located on the south side of Farewell and Cross in Hand Lane in Chorley. It is constructed of red brick and features a tiled roof, although part of the roof was missing at the time of the survey. The building stands two storeys high with a deep attic and has a two-window front. The windows are cast iron segmental-headed casements, and there is an entrance with a segmental head located to the right on the first floor and towards the left on the ground floor, which has boarded doors. The mill wheel, which was likely undershot, is now missing and was housed in a lower addition to the right of the main structure. The upper floors still contain fairly complete machinery remains, including fixed lower grinding stones.
