(Location cited as NS 776 928). Hayford Mills, founded c. 1860 by Messrs Smith. A very interesting group of buildings, mainly red and white brick. The main block is 5 storeys high, 6- by 25-bay, and there is a striking 3-storey, 6- by 12-bay building with round-headed windows in the top floor, segmental-headed in the second floor, and flat-headed on the ground floor. There is a key-pattern motif below the dentilated cornice. The other sizeable structure is 2-storey, 2- by 24-bay, with round-headed windows in the upper floor. The complex is completed by a range of single-storey rubble weaving sheds and some minor ancillary buildings. There is a tall circular-section brick chimney. Now warehouses.
