Description
Kemyel Mills, also known as the Upper Mill Building, is a watermill that likely dates back to the 18th century. It features granite moorstone rubble walls with some dressed moorstone and has a grouted scantle slate roof at the rear, which has been replaced with corrugated asbestos at the front. The building has gable ends and a fairly small rectangular plan, built into the bank that carries the leat at the rear. There is a circa late 19th century overshot wheel at the right-hand end, but no internal machinery remains.
The exterior is low with two storeys and an irregular two-window south-west front that has very small window openings. There is a doorway slightly left of the middle with a window to its left. The window in the left-hand gable end is a reused millstone fragment. The right-hand end features a small window above the wheel, flanked by two smaller openings. The wheel itself has a cast-iron hub and segments, with oak spokes.
Inside, the building has a simple layout with a 19th-century roof structure and sockets for a former floor structure at the right-hand end, along with another niche. The machinery has been removed.
