Architecture Notes

NS46SW 33.01 centred 42372 63385

The Old End Mill is situated at the NW part of the main mill complex and adjacent to the Black Cart Water.

Six storeys high, built of sandstone rubble with dressed sandstone quoins with a pitched timber slated roof with skylights. There were also attics and 136 windows.

Dating from the late 18th Century the floors were constructed to allow the maximum span to allow uninterrupted floor space.

The circular mill chimney at the N end is built of brick and has steel tie bands. It measures about 30m in height.
