Full Description
Bailey's Mill, off Lumsdale Road, Matlock Town, a mid 18th century building.
'Long stone building, three storeys high, with stone slab roof now covered in pitch, north-east of Bailey's Mill in Matlock. It was formerly a malt kiln. Later additions mask the front of the building, but three original windows can be seen at the lower end. The 1895 lease shows the building out of use as a kiln. (1-3)
'Old malthouse and cottage of c1799. The loft floor has been removed. Shown on the tithe map of 1848 when Joseph Ludlam was the tenant. In 1971 it was in use for storage.' (4)
The building and its immediate surroundings were subject to a borehole survey and watching brief over groundworks associated with residential development in 2019. Three boreholes excavated inside the former mill established that earlier floor surfaces survived below the modern concrete flooring, while boreholes excavated outside the structure revealed details associated with the original construction of the building.
