The left hand tower, of the original 1895 mill, formerly supported a pyramidal roof. The designation "No.1" has been added in terracotta at the time of construction of No.2 mill in 1902. The introduction of a small amount of terracotta decoration is unusual, but it is clear that the intention was for the new mill to match the old one in general style.
