Abbey Mill

Abbey Mill is a disused water mill located by the River Tyne, possibly dating from the early 18th century but built on earlier foundations. The mill has an L-plan layout and is mainly two storeys high with a loft, constructed from random rubble. There are remnants of associated features such as a weir and lade.

The west section of the mill is the earlier part, consisting of a single storey with a loft. It is built from variegated rubble with rough sandstone dressings. This section includes an outshot stair tower on the north elevation, which has a small window and a catslide roof. There are doors to both the ground and loft on the north elevation, one window on the west, and two windows along with a door on the south elevation. The roof is piended and covered with red pantiles, featuring two skylights.

The east section was originally used as a kiln and granary. It is two storeys high and has three bays on the west elevation, with the two southern bays set at a steeper roof pitch. This section is also made of sandstone rubble and has two doors and one window on the ground floor, along with a door and two windows on the first floor. There are single openings on the south and east elevations, and a lean-to shed with a pantiled roof and a door on the north side. The roof here is also piended, covered with ungraded grey slates, and retains a kiln vent.

The windows throughout the building are generally fixed with small panes, and the doors are plain and boarded.
