Description
South Anchor Mill, located on Anchor Lane in Dundee, is a jute mill built around 1846 and enlarged in the 1850s. The structure is two stories tall with an attic and features 13 bays. Two engine houses were added to the west around 1865. The elevation facing Anchor Lane is made of rubble and is now harled, with the ground floor windows blocked. The first floor has metal framed windows, two of which are also blocked. A small gable for the lift housing is located at the west end. The east and west gables are made of rubble and include skewputts, flat-topped finials, and early flat-topped ventilators beneath a slate roof. The south elevation, also rubble-built, was opened up at the ground floor in the 1850s, supported by stout iron columns and cast-iron beams.
The two engine houses from around 1865 have piended roofs. One of the engine houses features a tall round-headed window on the north and south sides, and two arched windows on the east side, one of which has been altered. The other engine house is lower and wider, with a blocked bipartite window.
Inside, the ground floor has brick arches supported by cast-iron columns and beams. On the first floor, two rows of iron columns support length-wise wooden beams and a wooden ceiling, with concrete laid on top. The attic features a curved cast-iron roof that rests on columns with bell capitals. The engine houses have concrete floors and a fire escape has been added.
