Description
Snade Mill is a late 18th and early 19th century, two-storey L-shaped mill built into the slope of a bank. The upper floor is only visible on the west elevation. A south wing was later doubled in thickness, with a different roof pitch, possibly to accommodate a thrashing mill, likely in the early 19th century. The mill is constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, and the original gables were topped with ball finials. A mill wheel is located on the east gable, and there are doors on either side of the re-entrant angle. The west gable has an off-centre door with a semi-circular step and a low opening to the lower level. Two small square windows are set into the west wall of the north wing; a former door on the north gable has been replaced with a window. Straight skews run along the roof, which is covered in slate. Some 19th century machinery remains inside the mill. The mill was derelict in 1984. John Hume’s Industrial Archaeology volume 1, published in 1976, includes further details and illustrations (page 99).

It experiences an average of 58 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 97% of listed buildings. Of these, 33 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.
