Oxnead Water Mill

Oxnead Water Mill is a water mill dated 1851, located in Brampton. It is constructed of limewashed brick with pantiled roofs, although there is a corrugated iron roof over the north bay. The mill stands four storeys tall and features scattered fenestration of iron framed sashes and fixed lights, which have glazing bars in segmental-headed openings. Originally, the facade had three gables, but the northern gables are now missing. The central gable has a weatherboarded panel that indicates the position of a lucam, which has since been demolished. The lucam opening on the north side has been blocked with brickwork. There are central door openings on both the east and west sides, with the west door flanked by blank openings. Additionally, there are door openings at the first and second floor levels on the east side. To the south, there is a one-storey brick and pantile wheel house that contains an iron undershot water wheel and a later turbine. The intermediate floors are supported by iron columns and plain-chamfered timber posts, while the original butt-purlin roof structure is preserved only over the centre section.
