Mill race diversion

Manager’s house

Area D, previous rag store, almost complete

Area E, previous boiler house, complete

A number of extensions were undertaken in the 19th and 20th centuries.

The main timber framed structure is the drying loft which eventually became 44m x 8.5m after two extensions to the original.

Due to the requirements of the Environment Agency, it is necessary for the main water course to be diverted around the water wheel which cannot normally turn as part of the development due to noise. A diversion of the mill race has been undertaken around the water wheel and the original over-flow is to remain on standby.

The apartments are being constructed within the main building, together with new build houses on the same site.
