Description

Avon Bridge House is a former warehouse and factory, now used as offices, built around 1873 with later rebuilding of an earlier cloth factory. The structure is made of squared coursed limestone rubble with freestone dressings and features a slate roof. It consists of two rectangular blocks, with a part of a wall from a third block to the east that has been demolished.

The exterior is two storeys high with an attic; the left block has a ten-window range, while the taller right block has an eighteen-window range. The windows feature 20th-century glazing and tall segmental arches with rusticated architraves. Both blocks have similar quoins and jambs. The left block has a steeper roof pitch, a blank left return, and a restored pyramidal bellcote. The right block has stone coping over stepped freestone blocks and includes one window in the attic, three on the first floor, and one on the ground floor.

The interior has not been inspected but is noted to retain original cast-iron columns and beams. Historically, the site was acquired in 1873 by the National Anglo-Swiss Milk Company for their first factory in Britain.
