The big red brick multistorey building incorporated the name stone of Meadow Mills but is obviously a total reconstruction. The original mill was built in 1860 as a silk throwing mill but later converted to fustian cutting. Apparently the rear western single storey brick workshop survives. My guess is that this is now Soapy Joes car wash.
