Standing Building Recording (12 March 2024 - 15 March 2024)
NT 24941 40863 A building recording was undertaken by Headland Archaeology Ltd. It constitutes a descriptive record to an enhanced level Historic Building Recording. The woollen mill complex dates from 1884 with additions and alterations throughout the 20th Century. The original complex stretched further north, but this area is now largely developed with housing forming Ballantyne Place. The site investigation confirmed that the current buildings comprised a mixture of offices, a gatehouse and cottage, a series of large single storey interlinked sheds, a two-storey engine and boiler house, a group of timber structures and a pond. A total of 30 structures have been recorded as part of this report with features relating to specific architectural characteristics or alterations. Several phases of construction were identified all of which correspond to the historical mapping and archive plans of the site.
