Description
Dodford Mill is a watermill dated 1836, constructed of red brick in English bond with a slate roof. The building is three stories high and features a three-window range. To the right of the center, there is a four-panel door set in a moulded wood surround. The ground and first floors have two-light casement windows, while the windows and door have segmental arched heads. The second floor is adorned with small one-light casements that have wood lintels. The mill has a plinth and a brick dentil cornice. To the left of the door, there is a single-storey lean-to engine house. At the rear, a round-headed arch is present over the mill face.
Inside, the mill contains three pairs of stones, a large cast-iron waterwheel, which is likely original, and chamfered spine beams. There is a significant amount of machinery, including hursting and gearing, a sack hoist, and sophisticated arrangements for the transport of stock.
