Description

Factory Llewenan consists of two phases, with the original structure being a corn mill located to the northwest, which has been expanded to form an L-plan. The corn mill is two storeys high, constructed with random rubble walls and topped with an old slate roof. A waterwheel was situated in a stone pit on the north gable wall. The ground floor features a door with a rectangular fanlight to the right (south) and two windows to the left; both the door and the left window are framed by recessed gritstone rubble segmental voussoir arches. The central window was previously a doorway, supported by an iron rail lintel. On the first floor, there are two windows with wooden lintels and slate sills, and a small window in the gable, likely the former shaft-hole. The waterwheel pit is located on the north gable and includes an overflow channel leading from a stone-lined pond uphill, along with remnants of a concrete sluice and wooden launder beams. There are also remains of an old wooden shaft lying loose.

The upper section of the mill, which was added to accommodate a carding machine, is a single storey with heavily over-pointed rubble walls and a slate roof. The gable facing uphill has a wide central doorway with a segmental brick arch, and there are two windows in the north wall that face the road.

The corn mill features a four-bay roof supported by three collar and tie-beam trusses made of sawn timber. Inside, at the north end of the first floor, there is a twisting machine. The extension built between 1900 and 1905 is a single storey structure, positioned upslope with its floor level aligned with the first floor of the corn mill. It also has a four-bay roof, supported by sawn kingpost trusses with angle struts extending from the tie-beam. Along the entire north wall of the extension is a circa 1900, 60-inch (1.5 meters) carding machine, which bears the maker's plate: 'CLIFFE & Co. PATENT / Longwood near Huddersfield'. Several driveshafts and belt wheels from the machinery are still present.
