A three-storey and basement five-bay (with extension) linen/jute mill rebuilt in 1872 after a fire. At the time of survey in 2002, it was in an advanced state of disrepair. Although in a badly decayed state, the breast-shot water wheel (3.05m wide and 5.49m diameter) survived in situ, having been exposed as a result of the collapse of the water-wheel-house roof. Also surviving on the outside of the mill was a vertical cast-iron line shaft with gearing which took power from the water wheel to each mill flat.
