Description
Bridge Street Mill is a spinning and weaving mill, later used as industrial units, principally dating to around 1900 with origins in the mid-19th century. The building was founded in the 1860s by William Smith of Witney.
The main front section is constructed from squared and coursed limestone with a gabled Welsh slate roof and a tall stone chimney stack to the rear of the central range. It is two storeys and an attic high, with a seven-window range. Three shaped gables feature ball finials at their apexes and stepped, scrolled sides. Keyed flat stone arches are above the 20th-century windows, which are set within ashlar jambs. A plain gabled bay with engineering-brick coping is to the left, alongside an ashlar bay with a semi-circular shaped gable and a moulded cornice over a three-light mullioned window with sashes.
To the rear right is a long, mid-19th century range of coursed limestone rubble with a gabled stone slate roof; other rear ranges date to around 1900. The chimney stack served the steam-powered looms, and blankets produced at the mill were taken to Smith's Mill at Crawley to be fulled.
