Includes Nos. 1 and 3 Town Street. Water-powered woollen mill, warehouse, etc., now 5 shops. Later C18, part dated 1782, with C19 addition; altered. Coursed squared sandstone, 3-span stone slate roof. Slightly irregular rectangular plan formed by 3 parallel elements of different builds, that in the centre being a C19 addition. Built on steeply-sloping site, the 3 gabled fronts to Ivegate at the upper end being 2-storeyed and the rear 4-storeyed. The principal elements of interest are the two outer blocks; that on the south side (No. 7), formerly the mill, has quoins to all corners and flat-faced flush-mullion windows in the side and rear walls: 3-bay, 3-storey side wall has 2 doorways at ground floor flanked by altered or inserted windows, a 3-light window at 1st floor (3rd light blocked) with jambs of a formerly similar window to the right (now greatly enlarged) and an inserted window to the left, and 2 pairs of coupled 4-pane sashes at 2nd floor; 4-storey, 2-bay rear wall has two 3-light flush mullion windows and two pairs of coupled windows at the same levels as those in the side (here the 3rd and 4th storeys), doorways and plain windows at the lower levels; gable to road has altered and inserted openings (possibly loading doors) and at street level a doorway in a formerly wider and higher opening; both gables have stone copings with flat apexes, and that to the street has returned ends to the coping, like a primitive open pediment. The north block has C19 shop front and 1st floor windows in the gabled fronts, and a gable chimney; its side wall (Town Street, Nos 1 and 3) of 2 bays (with evidence of a vertical joint between them) has 2 doorways at street level, that on the right with datestone above inscribed "JAMES DIXON, 1782 MD" a 3-light window to the right, a similar window above, a blocked taking-in door to the left of this and coupled sashes at 2nd floor. Continued to the rear, an early addition of 2 storeys which has inter alia a 3-light window at 1st floor of this side and remains of 3 others on different levels in the other side. Central element of less interest, said to have been built over water course to former water wheel.
