Description

The mill is a large 3-storey and attic building aligned N-S, constructed in brick and painted, with a slate roof between coped gables. Four bays wide, extended to the S by a further bay. A bracketed cantilevered hoist bay extends W from the roof, now painted with black framing. Timber casement windows, cross windows to the gable ends, the windows being shorter to the top floor. Entrance at the centre of the W side. At the N end, a lean-to structure and a circular window in the top gable.

Heavy floors on softwood cross beams, and some cast-iron columns at ground floor level. Tie beam and double collar roof, with the king post dovetailed into the apex, and queen struts. Two tiers of purlins. The tie beams, 40cm deep, are strapped to the queen posts. Some window sills have large (22 x 45cm) fireclay bricks.
