The further building is a silk mill, Grade II listed, and in the listing is described as being by Sugden and Son, although it is not marked as such on the map produced by the local authority http://www.staffsmoorlands.gov.uk/downloads/Leek_Conservation_Area_Map5.pdf Dated 1876, as is the adjacent building which is not listed, but described in the listing as 'engineering building'. The silk mill listing suggests it was built 'possibly for H D Bayliss', but these are the initials showing on the other building. Clearly there are some inconsistencies.
