Statement of Interest

Built as a carding mill, Waterside Mill was later also used for weaving. The wheelpit of the mill still survives. In 1910 the building became a creamery, and then a dairy under the management of the Fenwick Farming Co-operative. An important survivor of Fenwick's weaving and dairying past. The hamlet of Waterside grew up around the mill.
