Activities

Standing Building Recording (26 June 2014 - 28 June 2014)

NT 3465 7290 An historic building survey was undertaken, 26–28 June 2014, at 32–38 Millhill prior to redevelopment of the site. The buildings are currently used as a swimming pool for the Loretto School. Cartographic sources indicate that the buildings were originally a tannery, which may

have been in use from the late 18th century. The building underwent a range of alterations prior to its closure at the end of the 19th century and subsequent conversion into swimming baths in 1919.

The survey recorded five separate buildings/areas relating to different phases of construction. The majority of the external walls of the buildings had been covered in a painted render, so the survey focused on the exposed rubble stone wall facing onto Millhill. This wall had undergone a number of alterations and several blocked openings were noted. The wall is thought to be part of the building which formed the original tannery.
