Full Description

{1} A two-storey brick but roofless building, the axis at right angles to that of the mill. The gable end facing the mill and the east-facing side each have large sliding iron doors but no windows. Only the west side, alongside the former tail-pond of the mill, has windows: three on the ground floor and two on the first floor. Each has curved top cast iron frames, of five lights wide and four lights high. The limited fenestration and the heavy iron doors suggest this was a warehouse associated with the mill's textile manufacturing era.
