Whiston Mill

Whiston Mill is a mill and millhouse constructed from random bond red brick with a plain tiled roof, dating from the 18th century. The building stands three storeys high and features a covered wheelhouse with two channels, which has a separate, lower roof located to the north. Although the wheel has been removed, the axle remains, and the design of the wheelpit indicates that it was of the breast shot type.

On the exterior, the west front includes a stable door on the right side of the ground floor, with a hoist door to the right and a two-light casement window to the left on the first floor. The north gable end has a cambered headed door that provides access to the wheelhouse. The east front features two-light casement windows on both the ground and first floors, along with two arched openings for the wheelhouse that have stone dressings. Attached to the south and flush with the mill building is the mill house, which has been extended to the south and east and significantly altered during the 20th century, including the addition of a large plate glass picture window on the ground floor east.

Inside, the ground floor contains the mill gear, including a cast iron pit wheel with 160 teeth that meshes with a 64-toothed wallower. This connects to a spur wheel with applewood teeth, which in turn connects to the stone nuts. The first floor is home to three sets of mill wheels, all marked with the name Kay & Hilton, as well as a sack hoist and trap doors. The second floor has bases for grain bins.
