Silk throwing mill now in use as offices, and pair of houses
with weavers' garrets. c1840, with C20 alterations. Brick with
Welsh slate roof. 3 storeys, 6-window range. Domestic in scale
and detail.
EXTERIOR: segmentally-arched entry to rear courtyard to left,
6-panelled door with radial fanlight to right, and 4 windows
between them. Windows on each floor have wood mullions and
transoms, with upper opening vents, and flat-arched gauged
brick heads. Small upper panes in lower windows. Moulded wood
eaves. Similar pattern of fenestration to rear elevation, with
windows of 3 and 9 lights on upper floors, blocked openings
(perhaps for loading?) on ground floor.
INTERIOR: internal structure based on timber beams, with queen
strut and king post roof.
The mill building continues as the attic storey of Nos 5 & 7
St George's Street, which are single-unit, double-pile planned
houses, forming a single build with the mill. Some original
fenestration survives in No.5, but is renewed in original
openings in No.7. The attic storeys have long workshop lights
to the rear, and mullioned and transomed windows similar to
those in the rest of the mill building to the front.
