Title
Holmbridge Mill – HPC00107
Description
NAME: HOLMBRIDGE MILL
LOCATION: Holmbridge
REF: HU 3
GRID REF: 121 067
CLASSIFICATION: B and D
CONDITION: Semi used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Early–mid 19C/early 20C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: A good example of an early to mid 19C mill building here, and now the only surviving one in the Holmbridge district. A three storey (plus attic) stone building with a circular staircase tower and mill pond and race immediately behind. Some later additions at the front – now partly derelict. Across the road there is a small weaving shed, a large two and three storey stone building (date stone 1936) and offices etc. Other parts demolished. This part of the site was probably separately owned at some time and appears to have been called Clarence Mill. Going back much earlier though, there was a fulling mill in this vicinity and woollen manufacture was recorded here in 1800.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: Only the ground floor of the old mill seems to be used - by a joiner. The weaving shed/later buildings across the road are partly used by a textile company and as a craft workshop. Space to let when visited. The older building could be considered for listing – it remains mostly unaltered and is in danger of deterioration.
