1854 neo-classical fireproof front with three pediments, wrought iron roof, a large beam engine house to the rear and a circular chimney. The roof and quoined treatment of the slightly advanced end bays is similar to Edward St Mill and Tay Works (DW16/23) in Dundee, both 1851. This was always for weaving, not spinning, until it became a whisky bond in 1932. It wove yarn spun in Green’s Mill (1837, burned down 1991) on the other side of the Brothock. Both were owned by Andrew Lowson, the biggest manufacturer in the town. Ward Mill Bleachworks adjoin to the north- an open area was studded with posts- and Netherward Works was to the south: parts of both survive. Shank’s Dens Ironworks specialised in lawnmowers, a half-slated shed north of Baltic Works.
