Watermill, Bridge And Parapet Wall Attached To North

This is a late 18th and early 19th century watermill and bridge, with associated structures. The central section of the watermill likely dates back to 1791, with the bridge being built at the same time. The building is constructed of red brick with red pantiled roofs.

The central section of the mill is two storeys high and has two bays. It features a boarded ground floor window, two half-boarded and half-casement windows, and three first-floor two-light casement windows with glazing bars, all set beneath segmental brick arches. A recessed central door is flanked by a two-leaf loft-loading door above, with a dormer, gabled, weather-boarded lucam positioned above. Additions extend to the north and south, and a single-storey, three-bay, early 19th century engine house is attached to the east, with a further two-storey range beyond. The north and south additions are built in English bond brick. The north addition has two ground-floor relieving arches now filled with brick and two two-light casements, along with two first-floor casements, all under brick arches. The north gable has a two-story brick segmental arch with doors on both the ground and first floors. The south addition has two ground floor louvred windows and three first floor hinged casements with glazing bars, set beneath segmental brick arches. An ex-situ stone plaque dated 1820 is present on the south addition. A further English bond addition has two ground floor louvred windows and two first floor plastered blocked windows. The roofs and the south gable were rebuilt in 1960 following a fire in 1959.

A parapet wall runs along the north side of the bridge, featuring triangular coping bricks. The south arch of the bridge, which leads to the mill pond, has a datestone inscribed "ES 1790." The engine house, attached to the east, is single-storey with three bays and three double arched openings. One bay has a cast iron radial glazing bar window; another has a blocked window below a central arch; and the third has a cast iron radial glazing bar head only. A brick stack has four round arches recessed into rectangular frames, and features upper and lower platbands, inverted arches and battered angles to the upper stage, and stone coping. A two-story block attached to the east has cast iron radial glazing bar windows in the north and south gables.
