One of two large mills built in 1786 for spinning cotton. It was converted to a corn mill in 1866 after cotton spinning was stopped. Built from limestone with a slate roof it was the largest mill in the area. The second mill about half a mile away was later converted to a primary school which is still in use today. Langwith Mill House which stands adjacent to the mill building was until recently used as a restaurant.
Langwith Mill was four storey cotton mill built in 1786, originally sixteen windows wide, which must have made it one of the largest mills in the district. Cotton spinning ceased in about 1848 and the building was converted into a corn mill in 1886. It is built in limestone with a slate roof. Alongside was a large dam for water power supply, now a meadow. Langwith Mill is a curtilage building to the Grade II listed Langwith Mill House and a building of Local Interest in its own right.
The ground floor is pretty sound.
Oh look, stairs
First Floor, not looking too bad. A bit patchy in places
The Second Floor. Many more rotten boards here.
Third Floor. Many rotten boards, hidden by pigeon shit.
These stairs are a bit screwed. The rails are rotten too, I decided not to climb p to the top floor as I was solo.
The Restaurant
The Gardens
The Bridge is in much better shape than it looks.
All in a nice easy explore in tranquil surroundings.
