WITNEY MILL STREET (North side) Former Witney Mill
(Formerly listed as Witney Mill at SP 3545 1037)
II
Blanket mill, c.1820. Squared and coursed limestone with brick walling to gable ends; stone-coped Welsh-slate roof. Four storeys; symmetrical six-window range. Concrete lintel over plank double doors to left and flat stone arch over central plank door. Flat stone arches over iron casements. Interior: heavy beans supported by cast-iron columns.
The mill has water powered, and combined the fulling, weaving and spinning processes under one roof. Shafts and wheels for belts remain, but mill-wheel has gone. The earliest surviving industrial building of Richard Early and Sons Ltd. of which it remains a part. Flanking wings are not of special architectural interest.
