9/165 CUNSEY MILL

- II

Water driven sawmill. 1890, but the coppice barn apparently older. Slate
stone rubble, mostly unpointed, with slate roof. 2 gabled ranges with open
shed to north east, which has gabled coppice barn to rear. Three windows
to left gable, one blocked one to right and doorway, all with slate lintels.
Windows with fixed glazing. Blocked window altered by insertion of sliding
door. Round window with dressed surround in either gable. The open sheds
are later, mostly wooden with corrugated iron roofs, not special in themselves
but part of the whole as is the sheerlegs crane. The open barn is at the
rear and runs at right angles. The stonework is different and older in character.
2 bays, round stone piers water pipe to turbine enters building on south-west
side supported by rubble piers. The interior, not available for inspection,
but wood making machinery can be seen through the window and there is a Robinsons
bench saw in the open shed. A full set of machinery worked by a turbine and
line shafting is said to remain. The mill is said originally to have been
a bobbin mill becoming a saw mill in 1890. The adjacent millers house is
contemporary but is not of special interest.
