DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: A three storey stone built mill with loading bays placed centrally at the front. A woollen mill was recorded at Green Lane, Bottom in 1809, and it was a water powered site. The wheel was probably located in the basement at the western end of the building. Small mill race is visible.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The mill is now used by a small textile firm producing home weaving kits. When visited, repairs were being made to the roof, so continued use is likely.
