For Benjamin Gott. Coursed squared stone, slate and stone
slate roofs. 2 storeys, approx 18 bays with added slightly
higher 4-window range at east end. The notable features of the
south sides are the widely-spaced doors and windows to ground

protruding cast-iron roof truss supports near the centre of
the walling.

The west end housed the gas plant (the main range was gas lit
from 1809) and the cast-iron roof trusses were part of the
effort to make the mill as fireproof as possible. Engine shed
attached to east end of north side: the pair of basket arches
were at each end of a shed at Esholt Sewerage works, built
c1895 and rebuilt here c1985.
