Silk mill, now various workshops. Early to mid C19; altered.
Brown brick (now rendered at ground floor) with some sandstone
dressings (roof not visible). Rectangular plan with projecting
stair-turret at south-east corner and projecting tower (dust
flue?) near west end. Six storeys and 7 windows, with tower
between 2nd and 3rd; round-headed doorway in re-entrant wall
of stair-turret, otherwise most ground-floor openings altered;
segmental-headed windows with raised sills; narrow rectangular
full-height tower between 2nd and 3rd windows, with
diamond-pattern breathers (as found in agricultural buildings)
