Description

Ginclough Mill is a former water-powered silk throwing mill, later converted into a sawmill, and now partly used for domestic purposes and partly as a workshop. It was built around 1820, with a later 19th-century extension. The structure is made of coursed, squared, buff sandstone rubble, topped with a Kerridge stone-slate roof that features a stone ridge and one gable chimney, along with a rectangular mill chimney at the east end. The mill has a six-bay, three-storey body on the south side and two storeys on the north side. The windows are fixed 25-pane, with some replaced by 20th-century casements in the upper storey. The north front includes external stone stairs leading to the house door. At the east end, there are various lean-tos, a boiler house, and a two-storey workshop attached.
