Slip drying kiln and sheds to Cheddleton flint mill
II*
Slip drying kiln and sheds. Early C19 with late C19 and C20 additions. Coursed stone and red brick (to later parts); tiled roof; verge parapets to west; large chimney (approximately 10m high) set to rear. Single-storey and attic front in two parts, of stone to left and brick to right; the former, earlier part has a boarded door to left of centre and blocked small opening to left. The right-hand part in two periods of brickwork has a double door set against the butt joint dividing the two parts and a further boarded door to the right. The raised drying floor for the kilns is set within a lean-to at the rear running the centre length of the building and part open to the north.
The kiln shed forms part of the Cheddleton flint mill complex including grinding mills (q.v.) and furnaces (q.v.), set in a close and attractive group. Flint was fired, ground in the mills and bake-dried to form 'slop', an admixture to produce more durable and finely-textured tile and pottery used by the nearby five towns in the C19.
