Title
Portsmouth - HPC00162
Description
NAME: PORTSMOUTH MILL
LOCATION: Portsmouth
REF: CD 59
GRID REF: 898 263
CLASSIFICATION: C
CONDITION: Semi used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Late 19C (site earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Located at the foot of Beater Clough, this as the highest mill surveyed in the main Calder Valley. Probably an early site, a cotton mill was certainly recorded here by 1850. A small, three storey, mid 19C building (now derelict) remains at the rear of the larger, late 19C, two and three storey main building. Circular chimney on the hillside above. Some parts of the site appear to have been demolished. Also, a number of brick built warehouses and workshops across Burnley road.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The main part of the site is partly used for leather tanning and there is a mill shop on the site. The older building at the rear is probably in danger of being pulled down.
Up-date 2014 - mill is now demolished, and houses being built.
