The building displays typical industrial architecture from the 1800s with spacious interior areas designed for machinery and workforce operations.
History
The mill was founded in 1824 and relied on water power from the River Wessenden to drive its operations. Under Crowther family ownership, it grew into a major wool production center that shaped the economic development of the Marsden area.

Practical
