Statement of Interest

A good example of a traditional early-19th-century corn mill, sensitively converted to flats, situated close to the centre of Hawick. The mill, situated on the sloping Mill Path which leads from Slitrig Water towards Wellogate, forms a group with the adjacent Mill House (listed separately) which faces onto Slitrig Crescent.

The east elevation originally had a single off-centre window at 2nd-floor level; the present openings are modern but the stonework reflects the original fabric, as does the pattern of the glazing.

The mill and the adjacent Mill House on Slitrig Crescent were owned by the Grieve family until the late 20th century. List description revised following resurvey (2008).
