Description
Albion Mill is a silk mill dating from around 1815, now used as an animal feed mill. The original range on Albion Street was extended to the southwest with a new section built in 1887. The building features Flemish bond brickwork with blue headers and a plain-tiled roof. The Albion Street range is constructed of red brick with blue brick and stone dressings, showcasing an Italianate style.
The exterior consists of three storeys and a 15-window range, with a doorway located in the fourth bay from the right. The entrance has a reeded doorcase and a plain fanlight. The windows are fitted with stone cills and flat lintels, featuring 24-pane sash windows on the first floor and 16-pane sashes above. Some cast-iron fixed light windows, particularly on the King Street return, may be the original window style. Many lower and upper windows are boarded over. A bell cupola with an ogee leaded roof is supported by turned baluster columns at the center. At the rear, there is a chimney with a square-section base and a cylindrical shaft topped with a moulded cap.
On the King Street return, there is a three-window range followed by a two-storey block that includes an entrance to the rear yard. This area features an archway with stone voussoirs and a wide window above that is boarded over. The ground floor has stone quoins at the angles. The Albion Street facade has two storeys and a six-window range, with a round-arched doorway and fanlight on the left, which is dated in the keystone of the arch. The lower windows are segmentally arched with stone keys, while the upper windows are round-arched, all adorned with blue brick hoodmoulds and stone cills. The roof has two louvres. The extension to this building was added shortly after its construction, featuring an angled corner and a return to Spencer Avenue, comprising a four-window range in a similar style. The interior has not been inspected.
