Windsor Mills

Windsor Mills is a needle mill that has been converted into factory units. It was built in the mid-19th century and is constructed of brick with blue and yellow brick dressings, featuring shallow-pitched hipped slate roofs. The building stands three storeys tall and includes sill bands and a dentilled eaves cornice. It has a façade divided into 6:4:1:4 bays, which are highlighted by pilaster buttresses. The ground and first floor windows have round heads, while the second floor windows have cambered heads, with multi-paned metal windows throughout. The six-bay section and the single-bay section have paired windows on the upper two floors. There is an archway with a cambered head and keyblock in the single-bay section, along with a later inserted 20th-century door in the tenth bay. The north return at both ends consists of seven bays at the west end and eight bays at the east end. The mill is depicted on a map from around 1880 as the Excelsior Works. It is a substantial and well-detailed building that has remained largely unchanged on the outside.
