Description

Blackburn Mill is a disused water mill dating to 1832. The building retains its original machinery, including an internal overshot water wheel, although the hoppers have been removed. It is constructed of limewashed stonework with slate ridges. The plan is T-shaped, and a roofless square projection is visible at the side. The initials “J W” appear on the millhouse. The mill was formerly known as Weir’s Mill.

Local climate

Blackburn Mill sits in one of the wettest parts of the UK, with an average of 1,230 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 92% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 85% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 54 freeze-thaw cycles a year, more than 95% of listed buildings. Of these, 32 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
