and stair tower, and 4-window returns. Tower has central

lower storey, a full-height round-arched recess carried on
pilasters with modillion cornice and pyramidal copper roof

arches over windows of first and second storeys.
Flanking ranges each side have arcaded ground storey with
round-arched windows with keystones, the upper floors
articulated by pilasters over cornice of lower storey. 25-pane

Although few of the ancillary buildings survive, the mill is a
good example of industrial building design for the silk
industry at the end of the C19.
