Machinery probably early C19 with further machinery added later for various other applications. MATERIALS. Clapboarded timber frame with some colour-washed brick to lower storey and internally. Pantile and some corrugated iron roofs. 3 storeys and attic. PLAN and BUILDING PHASES. This complex building has a north-south orientation with races to the southern end from west to east.

The wheel in this phase was probably on the outside of the building. Phase 2 - c.1800: the building was heightened in timber frame adding a further storey and attic. Probably at the same time the water wheel was enclosed within brickwork and the machinery extended to the upper floors with the provision of a crown wheel. Phase 3 - early to mid C19: the building was enlarged to the west side yet retaining the earlier roof. The aisle-like addition was covered by a row of attic gables at right angles to the earlier roof: a similar row of attic gables was provided on the east side.
