Description

Newnham Mill is an early to mid 19th century building located on Newnham Road. It is constructed of grey gault brick and originally served as a watermill before being converted for factory use for many years. The structure is L-shaped, featuring a later rear wing, and stands three storeys high with three windows that have sashes and glazing bars. A weatherboarded sack hoist is present in the west gable end. The roof is covered with slate and includes a vent along its length.

Local climate

Newnham Mill sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 96% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 57% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
