The water- tower rises 2 stages above the stone-coped parapet having 3 windows with tripartite keystones which are keyed into a stone band, the name of the mill in white glazed tiles on the upper stage, an eaves cornice, and a brick parapet in front of a steep pyramidal roof with iron crowning. It is balanced at the other corners by brick pilasters and a pierced parapet rising above a stone cornice. The 4 x l-bay engine-house has semi-circular-arched stone-dressed openings with archivolt and tripartite keystones as well as stone bands, corner pilasters and a coped parapet above a stone cornice.
