Description
CHEDDLETON C.P. CHEADLE ROAD SJ 9652-9152 (west side) 13/67 North mill to - Cheddleton Flint Mill
GV II*
Water mill for grinding flint. 1756-65, possibly by Brindley. Red brick with sandstone quoins; tiled roof. 2-storey, single-window west front with segmental-headed cast-iron casement to first floor set over wide segmental-headed boarded door; lean-to to left; timber and cast-iron undershot wheel to right-hand gable set in a mill race taken off the River Churnet and shared with the South Mill (q.v.). The mill forms part of a complex including furnaces and drying kilns (q.v.), all set in a close and attractive group. Flint was fired, ground in the mills and bake-dried to form 'slop', an admixture to produce more durable and finely-textured tile and pottery used by the nearby 5 towns in the C19.
