The Victoria Mill

The Victoria Mill is a former corn mill built around 1800. It features deeply-coursed, dressed sandstone on the front and rubble limestone at the rear, topped with a Welsh slate roof.

The building has three storeys and an eight-window range facing Buxton Road, with a short two-storey wing at the north end. It has a plinth and large quoins, with projecting stone sills supporting 36-pane iron casements in dressed surrounds with deep lintels. The second floor is lit by small six-pane casements in bays 1, 3, 6, and 8, which have iron pintles for top-hung shutters. The two-storey section on the left has walling that continues from the main range and features a six-pane casement on the first floor.

At the rear, there are 20th-century casements, and the openings on the second floor match those at the front. The right return has an altered ground floor that includes a millstone built into the wall beneath a 20th-century casement and double doors. Each upper floor has two 36-pane iron casements.

Inside, the mill has broad queen-post trusses with centre posts extending from the collar to the ridge. The mill was described as new in the 1810 enclosure award and was in use until around 1945, after which it became a feed store. It was renovated around 1970, during which infilled roadside windows were replaced with iron casements taken from the rear.
