Former textile mill complex, now partially cleared and the 'mill building converted into flats. The complex was described by Hume in the 1970s as dating to the mid 19th century. A 3-storey and attic, 4 by 9 bay main block, with a 2 storey, 2 bay engine house at one end, a 10 bay range of single-storey weaving sheds, and two 3 storey office blocks, one 3 bay, the other 5'. On the demolition of Webster's Flax Textile Mill and excavation for foundations of new buildings on 07/07/1994, a well was discovered about 10m from the Brothock Water. It was constructed of dressed local red sandstone, 5m depth with water still in it. The diameter of this well was 3 m. Built over it was a brick domed construction finished off with a cast-iron ring measuring 28 inches by 10 inches by 1 3/4 inches. It would appear that this well operated as a pump for the steam engines within the works. Probably built mid-19th century. Since infilled and built over.
