Description
Newland Mill is a former corn and flour mill, dating to 1814, with significant additions from the mid-19th century and late 19th century. The building is constructed of stone rubble, with brick detailing to the later additions, and has a slate roof with hipped and gable ends. A large, detached rubble chimney stack is located at the rear.
The original mill building, at the front, likely comprised a single room on each floor, with the water wheel positioned at its left-hand end. In the mid-19th century, the building was heightened and extended with a wing to the rear. A large, four-storey block was added to the rear in the late 19th century, incorporating a chimney stack for a steam engine, and another wing was built at right angles to the main range, likely for storage purposes.
The front building is three storeys high, with a four-storey rear range. Stone arches frame the windows, and a line in the stonework marks where the original gabled roof was raised by an additional storey. An iron water wheel, employing a breast-shot action, remains in a pit to the left-hand side. Inside, the mill machinery is largely intact, featuring wooden-toothed gearing and two millstones. The mid-19th century heightening and extension likely provided additional accommodation for corn bins, forming a false second floor.
