Vertically-boarded timber door centring SW gable; small square window centring NW elevation with door to left; small square window centring NE gablehead; 6-spoke, single-ring cast-iron waterwheel with square axle to right of centre in SE elevation with 2 small openings (perhaps for operating sluice) to left.

Statement of Interest

This mill, unaltered externally, and complete with all its early machinery (except for the paddles) constitutes a remarkable survival.
