Title
Mayroyd Mill Wheelhouse and attached Weir and Culvert, Station Road, Hebden Bridge - CBC01023
Description
Grade II
Wheelhouse to mill (now demolished), early C19. Hammer-dressed stone, stone slate roof survives in part, one end of roof clad in asbestos, over wooden extension. East elevation has central doorway with window to either side with plain stone surrounds. Left hand return wall has 2 similar windows in gable which overlooks the river Calder. Rear has large semi-circular arched entrance to sluice. Interior houses cast iron and steel undershot wheel 16 feet diameter, 15 feet wide. The weir, set diagonally across the river, is low and buttressed. Attached to the wheelhouse, where the water is discharged from the wheel, is an arched stone culvert which returns the water to the river. This culvert is dressed stone, with a simple rounded arch profile, 5 metres wide and 2 metres high above the present water level. It stretches 440 metres, with a nearly flat gradient, dropping only 0.2 metres in its entire length.
