Description
Clock Mill is a clock tower built in 1753, with an adjoining mill constructed in 1817. The mill is made of brown brick and features a slate pitched roof that extends to the eaves. It stands four and a half storeys tall and is eight bays wide, with segmental headed sash windows that have sixteen panes, although the sashes have been renewed. On the left side of the south facade, there is a weatherboarded gabled hoist housing. To the right, there are two three-storey drying kilns topped with conical slated roofs, which have recently had cowls added. The clock tower, located at the corner in front of the kilns, is made of yellow brick and consists of two square stages and one octagonal stage, topped by a two-stage wooden octagonal structure with a cupola and clock. The lower stages feature pointed windows with Gothic glazing bars. Additionally, the ground floor of the mill range contains three tidal water wheels and driving gear.
