(Formerly Listed as:
MILL STREET, Broadwey
Vixen Forge)

GV II

Former mill, now dwellings. C18, upper floor added 1846.
Coursed rubble, slate roof. A plain rectangular range with
hauling-way towars the left, connected by a bridge to North
Mill (qv) opposite.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys, scattered fenestration, all to segmental
heads with stone voussoirs; at second floor is a late C19
gabled hauling-way with decorative barge-board, above C20
glazed doors to the bridge, and four 2-light cast-iron
small-pane casements. At first floor a pair of glazed doors to
a C20 balcony railing is flanked by similar cast-iron
casements, with a further wood casement to the right.
Ground floor has 3 close-set iron casements to the left of a
plank door with glazed panel, and, to the right, 2 wide
openings over C20 garage doors. To the right is a brick stack,
shared with the adjoining Millstream Cottage (qv). The back
has a series of regular openings to segmental heads, but with
plain casements.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
HISTORICAL NOTE: this was originally the stables to the main
mill building opposite (qv North Mill), raised in the mid C19
to become a further mill unit; the River Wey is culverted
beyond the right gable.
It is an important element in the street, retaining the
original cast-iron casements to the street front, and is a
reminder of former industrial activity here by the River Wey.
