Description

This is an early 19th-century former cotton mill, now used for multiple purposes. It is constructed of squared rubble with a stone slate roof. The building has three storeys and eight bays facing the stream, and seven bays to the rear. Rusticated quoins, coped gables with kneelers, and a small hip roof are present on one side. The south gable end features loading doorways, which have been converted into windows, and a small bellcote at the apex. The rear elevation is similar, but the first floor incorporates a recent loggia featuring round-headed archways; these are constructed using the remaining jambs of former windows. The roof has been altered to accommodate rooflights.

River Walk sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,200 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 91% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 87% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 51 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 92% of listed buildings. Of these, 29 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
