Description

The Corn Mill on Station Road in Selkirk dates back to 1903, incorporating earlier materials and featuring later alterations and additions to the southwest. It is a single-storey L-plan building with an 8-bay section to the northeast that has a swept corner to the southeast and a 3-bay return. The structure is built from squared and snecked whinstone with polished red sandstone dressings and bull-faced red sandstone pilasters, complete with a base course and a corbelled cornice.

On the northeast elevation, there is a slightly advanced gabled bay on the inner left, adorned with bull-faced red sandstone quoins. The entrance features a 2-leaf panelled door with a segmental-arched plate glass fanlight above, set within a heavy doorpiece flanked by pilasters with fluted upper sections. These pilasters curve out to a dated entablature that has a small scrolled pediment at the center. Above, a flush ashlar band course leads to a gablehead with a blinded arrow slit. Each bay to the left and right contains a bipartite window, separated by piers.

The southeast elevation features three bipartite windows, also divided by piers similar to those on the northeast side. The northwest elevation has a gabled design with modern steps leading to a 2-leaf panelled door in the left bay. This door is set in an ashlar basket-arched and consoled doorpiece, topped with a diminutive segmental pediment, and the lintel is carved with "Selkirk Water Works." A window is present in the right bay, and there is a carved plaque at the gablehead displaying a town motif.

The building features a variety of windows, a graded slate roof, and a metal polygonal louvred vent. Decorative terracotta cresting adorns the roof, and the gables are fitted with kneelers, coped skews, and skewputts.

The Mill Lade Bridge is located to the northeast and north of the mill, across Station Road. It is a three-panelled cast-iron bridge with secondary girder panelling beneath, flanked by stugged ashlar coped piers to the north. The bridge has been altered to the northeast, with one panel and pier removed.
