Narborough Mill

Narborough Mill is a former watermill dating to the late 18th century, with later 20th-century repairs. It is constructed of brick, carstone, and weatherboarding, with pantile and corrugated iron roofs. The mill is three storeys high with an attic. Originally five bays, a sixth bay was added to the north side in the late 20th century after the demolition of 19th-century additions. Four bays are recessed within giant, semicircular-headed arches, each with raised ashlar keystones and imposts. Ground and first floor windows have glazing bars beneath skewback arches. The southernmost bay originally contained ground and first-floor doorways. The second floor features four pivot windows with glazing bars beneath semicircular arches, with a rectangular central window also beneath a skewback arch. A dentil cornice runs along the top of the building. A central weatherboarded dormer has a corrugated iron roof. The south gable end is of carstone rubble. The rear wall is weatherboarded, incorporating a continuous outshut housing machinery. Sluice gates are located beneath a three-centred arch. The outshut contains five 20th-century sash windows with glazing bars. A bridge with two three-centred arches and a swept parapet leads to the front of the mill. Inside, a 4.3-metre waterwheel drives a pit-wheel and wallower. A horizontal mainshaft originally had provision for six pairs of stones, of which five survive.
