Corn Mill, Manuel Mill

The Corn Mill, known as Manuel Mill, is a large corn mill complex primarily consisting of a three-storey block with a rectangular plan. It was built in at least five stages, mainly during the second half of the 18th century and the first half of the 19th century. The structure features rubble with ashlar dressings, and has slated and pantile roofs, although there is modern sheeting on the left side. A giant arch near the center of the building reveals recessed sites for the mill wheels, one located on each gable within this arch. The front of the building is flat, and while the roof heights are fairly consistent, they are not uniform.

The mill's considerable size may be attributed to its location near the Union Canal, which provided direct access to city markets, as well as a generous water supply facilitated by an impressive lade system.

The development of the main block is complex, as analyzed and sketched by G. Bailey. The construction likely began at the site of the arch. The development can be summarized in phases: Phase I involved the two bays to the right of the arch, forming a vertically proportioned three-storey free-standing block. Phase II saw the addition of a duplicate block to the left and the construction of the arch, creating a near-symmetrical appearance, with the entire structure presumably covered in pantiles. Subsequently, the original right-hand range was slightly heightened to match a new slate-roofed range added to the right. The left side was extended in at least three stages, with one bay and an additional top floor. Its front elevation has windows on only two levels, and the roof was originally sheeted, serving as a kiln before being adapted into a generator house on the ground floor, with a battery room above.

Nearby, there are associated buildings and ranges used for agricultural purposes, mostly dating from the 18th to 19th centuries. These structures are predominantly single-storey, with some featuring half-slating and one having a full-length axial ventilator.
