Roof, not visible from ground, is of slate with skylights; detached chimney is listed separately. Large 7-storey, 22-bay factory with 5-bay returns; lower-left single-bay return engine house and 2-storey, 7-bay boiler house; built with fireproof floors. Junction Street facade; at each end bays project slightly for full height. Regularly-spaced casement windows which are C20, in original stone surround with hood cornices. The right return has projecting central 3 bays; the last bay on the right is for loading and has enlarged loading doorways (probably original). The left return has many blind windows. Engine house has large casement window with glazing bars in stone architrave and dentilled cornice. Boiler house has casement windows similar to the main factory. Rear of boiler house has plank doors under Diocletian windows, some with original radial glazing bars. INTERIOR of factory has off-centre stone stair around lift shaft (could be a later insertion). Cast-iron pillars support girders and brick vaulted ceilings; floor tiles are stamped R. ASHTON & CO, BUCKLEY (Flintshire). Carlisle Journal (1835) records the laying of the foundations. The boilers were installed in April and May 1836, Carlisle Journal (1836). For illustration see Pevsner (1967); however, he incorrectly gives Robert Tattersall as the architect.
