Established in early 19th century as woollen scribbling and dyeware mill, later a scribbling and fulling mill. Bought in 1824 by Eyres family, woollen merchants, and rebuilt as large-scale integrated private mill.

One internal engine house, one attached engine house, internal boiler house. Long warehouse range (now curtailed) on street frontage. Workers' housing built nearby.
