Description
NAME: LOWER SOYLAND MILL
LOCATION: Foot of Mill Bank
REF: RY 26
GRID REF: 035 212
CLASSIFICATION: B
CONDITION: Part disappeared/part used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Early to mid 19C (site earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: The original site of the ancient manorial corn mill for Soyland Township was probably here, or in close proximity at the junction of Severhills and Lumb Cloughs. Small cotton mill here in the 19C. Some of the site has probably gone, as has the dam. A late Georgian/early Victorian two storey building, much altered and modernised, remains, and was probably a mill building at one time.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: This building has been modernised and converted into residential flats. This conversion has been well done, in keeping with its position in the Mill Bank Conservation area. A number of fine vernacular buildings in the vicinity.
