Description

The Mill Inn is a public house located on Victoria Road in Aldeburgh. It dates from the late 16th century but was reconstructed in brick during the mid-19th century and altered in the mid-20th century. The building is timber-framed and encased in plastered and color-washed brick, topped with a hipped slate roof that features stacks on both slopes and a third internal end stack on the north side.

The front of the building facing Victoria Road is two storeys high with five irregularly arranged windows. A central plank door is flanked by two renewed three-light leaded casements. To the left, there is a canted bay window with similar casements. On the first floor, there are three additional casements of the same type. The right end of the ground floor has a 20th-century Tudor-style public house front with three segment-arched windows, which continues around the corner to Market Cross Place with three more windows. Between these, there is a double-leaf glazed door. The first floor features false timber studwork, with one single-light and one three-light mullioned 20th-century window on the Victoria Road front. The Market Cross Place side has another doorway with a four-light mullioned window to the right, directly below the first-floor canted bay window, and to the left, there is a three-light mullioned window. All these windows are from the 20th century.

Inside, the south-west room has a chamfered bridging beam, and the north wall of this room retains some late 16th-century studwork. The first floor was not inspected.
