NS 4250 6340 A programme of detailed historic building recording was undertaken during 2005 to 2006 at the site of Barbush Mills before the demolition of the entire industrial complex. The Mill site had been in industrial use since the 1840s and the earliest buildings on the site survived from an earlier period when textile work was undertaken piecemeal by hand in workers’ homes. The mill owners made various additions throughout the later 19th century with the last extensions added in the early 20th century. The building recording included an external elevation survey of the main elevations and a detailed floor plan survey accompanied by a written and photographic record.
