Description

Bongate Mill is an 18th-century building constructed of stone rubble and covered in stucco. It stands three storeys high and features a hipped roof. The upper storey has three square windows, while the middle storey contains seven windows, three of which have semi-circular relieving arches. The ground storey also has two windows with similar arches, along with a door. The river-facing side of the mill mirrors this design, with three windows and a door on the ground floor. A large sandstone arch remains where the mill wheel was once located, although the wheel itself has been removed.

Local climate

Bongate Mill 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 82% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 57 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 96% of listed buildings. Of these, 36 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.
