Silk mill. 1893-4. By JG Smith. For Messrs William Broster. Brick with stone dressings and slate roof. EXTERIOR: 4 storeys, 18 bays with advanced central entrance and stair tower, and 4-window returns. Tower has central entrance with round-arched doorway. Above the cornice of the lower storey, a full-height round-arched recess carried on pilasters with modillion cornice and pyramidal copper roof above. Paired windows on each floor, with chamfered stone lintels, and decorative brick panels below windows and in tympanum of arched recess. Narrow privy towers flank this main tower at each side. These each have paired windows (round-arched to ground floor) and with segmental relieving arches over windows of first and second storeys. Flanking ranges each side have arcaded ground storey with round-arched windows with keystones, the upper floors articulated by pilasters over cornice of lower storey. 25-pane iron-framed windows with central opening lights and chamfered stone lintels. Corbelled brickwork above upper windows. Stone cornice and parapet, dormer windows as clerestory in roof. Single-storeyed building to rear possibly formerly boiler house, dated on rainwater head. INTERIOR: not inspected. Although few of the ancillary buildings survive, the mill is a good example of industrial building design for the silk industry at the end of the C19.
