Description

Albert Mill is a grist mill, now converted into flats, dating from around 1830 and restored in 1992. The building is constructed from squared and coursed rubble with ashlar dressings, copings, and stacks, featuring gabled slate roofs, while the 20th-century ranges have render and slate roofs. It is designed in the Tudor Gothic Revival style.

The mill complex is large and set at an angle to the River Chew, with a leat leading under the southeast corner towards the weir sluice. The main structure is a long three-storey building with nine windows on the north side, flanked by two rear wings and additional 1992 ranges to the south and west. The main range features two-light chamfered mullions with dripstones and relieving arches on all floors, with larger ones on the first floor. There are three loading doors with segmental heads, keystones, and 20th-century glazing at the ground-floor center. The roofs are shallow-pitched gables with two end stacks that have tall Tudor-style shafts and caps. The 20th-century ranges have similar dripstoned openings and casement windows.

Towards the weir sluice, there is a two-storey lean-to extension that houses an external waterwheel in a pit. Inside the main range, on the ground floor, there are two in situ waterwheels, one of which is enclosed within the building. The mill also contains edge runner stones used for crushing logwood.

Historically, it is possible that cotton was manufactured on this site in the 1780s. Later, the mill was used to process logwood, which produced black dye. The building is recognized as an industrial monument of considerable interest due to its machinery and rarity in the area.
