Deanston cotton mill was establishd in 1785, the year that Richard Arkwright's patents were quashed (Richard Arkwirght's water frame could now become part of continuous preparation machinery). Modenisation in 1947 destroyed the 18th century mill range. The surviving spinning mill, weaving shed, wheel house and weir of c.1826 are of great interest as a late phase of water-powered mill construction. Workers housing still survives in a relatively unchanged state.
JR Hume (1977)
