Brick, English bond, with sandstone details; stone slate roof. 3 storeys, 5 bays and linked at the north-east corner to road-side range (q.v.). Stone plinth and quoins. Right - inserted 4-panel door with blocked window right again and 3 C20 windows to left. First floor: blocked window far right; 4 square windows with flush wood frames, the second from the left probably original, with 3 horizontal lights - the lower light boarded, centre light of 4 panes, and top light open (in some cases also boarded). Wooden lintels, 2 to right repaired in cement. Second floor: original window bay 4, the remainder blocked. Rear - ground floor: board door bay 2, windows boarded over. First floor: 3 windows with 3 horizontal lights, 8-pane fixed window to right. Second floor: left window blocked, remainder of 3 horizontal lights. Right return: remains of projecing brick stack on stone corbels at first floor. Interior not inspected at resurvey, but reported to contain a stone- vaulted cellar and roof structure of 3 king post trusses in soft wood (Harrogate Borough Council, p 10). To left- 2-storey linking range of brick with slate roof, (between this building and range to south-west, formerly block C - q.v.), built after 1851 and not of special interest. This building is possibly on the site of the paper mill complex operated in 1771 by John Lomas, and converted to a cotton mill in 1791. There was a low range attached to the east end of the south side and shown in the Ordnance Survey map of 1851. Harrogate Borough Council, The Future of Castle Mills, 1983. B Jennings, Harrogate and Knaresborough, 1970, p 264. Ordnance Survey, Map of Knaresborough, Scale 5' to 1 mile, 1851.
