Place & story
A mill of around 1800
The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage dates Ardmayle’s former watermill to around 1800 and identifies its builder as Richard Longfield of Longfield House. The three-storey building stretches across twelve bays beside Ardmayle Bridge. The inventory records subsequent use as a barracks and the addition of a shopfront at one end of the ground floor. [2]
Changes visible in the openings
The May 2005 survey recorded blocked windows alongside surviving timber sashes and metal casements. Red-brick surrounds contrast with the limestone walls, while the shopfront groups display windows around a central doorway. These alterations preserve evidence of a building adapted after its original milling role. The survey described it as disused at that time. [2]
