PITALPIN WORKS, LOCHEE
Donald’s Lane
This 1835 flax spinning, fireproof mill was extended to the east in 1851-8. The corner chimney stack was built into the body of the mill and its
internal engine house remodelled in 1903. It withstood a fire that removed the roof in 1990, but awaits a new use. Evidence of handloom weavers
windows are visible in a corner building which was subsequently adapted to a warehouse. A further weaving shed was added to the west. An owner’s house adjoins the works to the south.
