This is one of the very few working textile mills in the south-west and specialises in green baize and tennis ball covers. Prominent is the more modern mill built in 1872 by J R Ferrabee and built in red blue and yellow brick with limestone details. This is the view down the public footpath through the mill that leads down to a pretty balustrade bridge by the lder stone built mill. This was probably once a major (? the main) entrance to the mill. At this point the modern mill is built against the hill and beside the photographer it is single storey but in the distance it is three storeys in height.
