(South Side)

3/27 Trafford Mill

-

- II

Water-powered corn mill: c.1830 on earlier foundations with later C19
extensions, all for the Earls of Shrewsbury. Irregular bond orange
brick, Welsh slate roof and I brick chimney. Long L-shaped plan.
2-storey 12 -bay west front. Dentil brick cornice. Left end bay has
stone wheelpit with 2 segmental brick arches on a stone pier and the
7th bay is another wheelpit with a single segmental arch. The bays
between have small-pane windows under weak segmental heads and on door
and another door into an added gable porch. The remainder is an
addition of a driftway, a large cartshed and a shippon at right
angles. Cartshed and driftway have heavy wooden lintels, and the
remainder similar but larger openings than to the original part.
Interior: being restored as a working museum. North wheelpit has
unusual cast-iron single-spoke wheel connected to flour sifting
machinery dated 1883. South wheelpit has restored low breast wheel
and complete train of machinery driving 3 pairs of stones (in use
until 1952). Ground floor is quarry tiled and has corner cast-iron
fireplace. For history see G.Coppack "A Country Mill, the history of
Trafford Mill" unpublished thesis, Keele University, 1980.
