Drying House of former Golden Grove Paper Mill

The Drying House of the former Golden Grove Paper Mill is a two-storey building constructed of rubble stone, featuring an upper storey with horizontal wooden louvres in the side walls and a slate roof. The west wall has boarded double doors at the left end and a boarded central bay in the upper storey. In the lower storey, there is a boarded door to the right under a timber lintel, double boarded doors in the centre (where the original opening has been narrowed with blockwork), and a similar narrowed doorway to the left of centre. At the left end, there is a boarded door, and to the right of this are 20th-century added stairs leading to the upper storey. Attached to the ends are added walls forming a narrow rectangular enclosure that runs the full length of the west wall and includes a central field gate.

The east wall, which faces the river, has two windows featuring 3-light and 2-light casements beneath timber lintels, as well as a blocked door to the right, above which are two small openings. The north gable end has been partly rebuilt in blockwork and has the ruined walls of other mill buildings attached. The south gable end features an added lean-to. The building was not inspected at the time of the survey in December 1997.
