Chauntry Clothing Mills

Chauntry Clothing Mills is a complex of three factories, a warehouse, and an engine house, with part of the site now used as offices. The factories were built in 1856 and 1865, the warehouse in 1856, and the engine house was likely constructed around 1880. The factory built in 1865 features a minimal French Gothic style. The buildings are made of red brick and have glazed or slate roofs.

The original factory is a single-storey structure with a serrated roof, which was previously lit by 14 sash windows. The warehouse, built at the same time, is a three-storey building with eight recessed sash windows that have glazing bars and a hipped roof, with an additional two-window range on the east side. To the north, there is a single-storey factory, now mostly offices, with a six-window range.

The 1865 factory extends south from the warehouse and has three storeys, rising to four at the north end, featuring a 14-window range. The ground floor has three stilted entrances under four-centred arches. The windows on the ground and first floors are two-light casements, while the second floor has a mix of two-light casements and taller single-light casements, all under pointed arches in pointed gables.

The two-storey engine house is located at the north-east corner of the new factory and has a hipped roof. Although the interior was not inspected, it is noted that a steam engine remains, which was a 120 horsepower single cylinder horizontal mill steam engine installed in 1880. The first factory was built for producing drabbet, while the second was intended for glove manufacturing.
