Mill Cottage Adjacent To Cheddleton Mill (South)

Mill Cottage, located adjacent to Cheddleton Mill to the south, is an early 19th-century cottage that has seen some alterations in the 20th century. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared stone, topped with a tiled roof featuring verge parapets and a brick stack on the left side. The cottage is small, with two storeys and a two-window front. The windows are small-pane casements, with a two-light window on the left and a single-light window on the right. The entrance is slightly to the right of the center and features a boarded door. This cottage is part of the Cheddleton flint mill complex, which includes grinding mills, furnaces, and kilns, all situated in a close and attractive group. In the 19th century, flint was fired, ground in the mills, and bake-dried to create 'slop', a mixture used to produce more durable and finely-textured tiles and pottery for the nearby Five Towns.
