Quemerford Mill

Quemerford Mill is a cloth mill, dating from around 1790, with extensions added around 1815, and subsequently altered. It is constructed from roughly squared limestone rubble with ashlar dressings, a brick chimney stack, and a slate roof. The building has a rectangular plan with extensions to the rear and sides, and stands five storeys high, originally featuring a nine-window range. A cornice and blocking course run along the top, and the east gable has a coped gable with a capped gable stack. The original windows were segmental-arched, two-light stone-mullioned windows with 15-pane, bottom-hinged casements. The east gable includes two blocked top-storey windows with two-centre arches. A square brick steam engine chimney with a small cornice sits at the western end.

Inside, features include numbered ground-floor cast-iron columns arranged in nine bays, along with a roof structure featuring butt purlins and a thin ridge piece. A former engine house is located at the southwest end, and there are later 19th-century extensions to the southeast and southwest. The mill has a historical note stating it was originally a fulling mill, rebuilt in the 1790s as a water-powered cloth mill. A 14 horsepower steam engine was added in 1815, with the mill later converted to a corn mill in 1841. An undershot wheel was situated in a wheel pit in the northeast corner, adjacent to a blocked window.
