Clifton Mill, Millhouse And Attached Millstream Bridge

Clifton Mill, Millhouse, and the attached millstream bridge are a watermill, millhouse, and bridge that date from the 17th and 19th centuries. The buildings are constructed of coursed limestone rubble and coursed squared marlstone with ashlar dressings, featuring some wooden lintels, and have concrete plain-tile and Welsh-slate roofs. The mill has an L-shaped plan and consists of two sections, with the larger eastern part mainly from the 17th century and built of limestone. The road front of the mill includes two small windows with moulded-stone surrounds, flanking a central opening with chamfered jambs and a stone lintel. To the extreme right is a stable-type door, and to the extreme left is a wide segmental-arched opening with a chamfered ashlar surround. The first floor has two-light casements on either side of a loading door. The right end wall features another loading door above two blocked windows with moulded stone surrounds. The 19th-century section is taller and has marlstone-ashlar dressings. The millhouse, which returns at right angles from the mill, is an irregular two-storey range with five windows, likely mainly from the 17th century, constructed from both limestone and marlstone, and has renewed casements, some of which retain chamfered lintels. The steep-pitched roof has two weatherboarded gables and two brick stacks. Inside, the mill has a metal breast-shot wheel and fairly complete wood and metal gear, although it formerly had a second wheel. The bridge over the tailrace, which carries the B4031, is made of coursed rubble and features a 19th-century brick segmental arch, with a plain parapet that has flat copings and extends approximately 20 meters to the west.
