Appraisal
This former mill house forms part of a significant group with the related former mill and malting buildings to site. Built in the first part of the nineteenth century, this group is an interesting reminder of the industrial heritage which was once associated with this part of the city. The imposing scale of the buildings, and the materials utilised in their construction make a positive addition the area. The former house is enhanced by the retention of notable features and materials, such as the timber sliding sash windows, slate roof and fine porch.
