Building record 0289401000 - Mill House, New Mills

Probably built at the time of the rebuilding of New Mills in 1836 and shown on maps from 1842 onwards and subsequently altered and extended. An L-shaped building, it has been much altered, with much of the original fenestration lost, internal partitions removed and showers and toilets inserted during the time that the building was used as a canteen. [Photo] (B9).
Probably occupied by the mill manager rather than the owner and latterly appears to have been rest room for mill staff. Shown on the 1840 tithe map. Extended to the rear. Slate roof and painted brick with render made to look like ashlar. Altered with replacement windows and the front door has been bricked up. The front elevation looks slightly assymetrical. Can be seen on a photo of c.1900 taken from the canal towpath looking south over the lock. Now obscured by tree cover. A significant building/building of note within the Conservation Area of Uxbridge Lock (B14).
