Description
North Dudhope Works is a jute spinning mill built in 1874 by Urquhart Lindsay and Co. It is a five-storey building with an L-plan layout, featuring eight bays on the east side and thirteen bays on the north side. The structure is constructed from rubble with ashlar quoins on the eastern side. The windows are metal-framed, with some having been blocked or altered to create doors at the ground floor. There are two keystoned arched entrances located at the northern wing, while the western walls are blank.
The building has a piended slate roof and includes a water tank. Inside, the mill features an iron frame with iron columns that have bell capitals and brackets for shafting, which was also suspended from the beams. Brick arches support stone slabs and iron plates. The second bay from the east contains iron fittings in the floors and ceilings for rope drives and shafts. There is a stone staircase, a lift, and a WC located in the angle of the building. The top floor has a brick arched ceiling with a wooden roof above.
