Title

Bank House Mill, Barkisland - HPC00350

Description

NAME: BANK HOUSE MILL

LOCATION: Beestonely

REF: BB 10

GRID REF: 067 198

CLASSIFICATION: C

CONDITION: Mostly used

APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mainly early 20C (site earlier)

DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: This mill has been under the same ownership of woollen manufacturers since its original construction c1830. It was rebuilt in 1908 – 1909 and consists of a long, two and three storey stone building with some additions. A square stone chimney is still used and probably predates the present mill buildings. A row of cottages is situated immediately below the mill next to the brook. At one time a mill stream ran from the dam at the rear of the present Barkisland Mill (see BB 9).

PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The mill is still used for woollen manufacturing although parts of it seem disused and one section is derelict. Hopefully, the mill will continue to be used in some form.
