Old Mills Cottage

Old Mills Cottage is a former lock keeper's cottage, dated 1845, with the initials "TGC" referring to Thomas Cullum, who owned the navigation rights for this section of the river. The cottage is built of mottled yellow brick, accented with red brick quoins and opening surrounds, and features some ashlar dressings. It has a clay tile roof and is designed in a T-plan, standing two storeys tall with an attic and a one-storey lean-to addition at one angle. The architectural style is Tudor. The windows are cast iron lattice casements with moulded stone labels. The door on the west elevation has a pointed arched head beneath a square dripstone and decorated spandrels. The gable ends are adorned with wavy-edged pierced bargeboards. Some openings on the north and east elevations have been bricked up, and new openings were created in the east elevation in 1981.
