Abbey Mills, as seen from the entrance in Church Street. Once a mill, it is now (almost inevitably) luxury residences.

Located between Church Street and the River Avon. The 5-storey building was erected in 1875. Built on the site of an earlier mill, it was to be Bradford-on-Avon's last new cloth mill. Grade II* listed in April 1952. Converted to retirement flats in 1997.

Abbey Mill was the last large woollen cloth factory to be built in Wiltshire. It is mostly a building of 1875 which replaced an older building which is represented by the cross-wing. Cloth production ceased in 1902 and the building became the Spencer Moulton rubber works after occupation by Australian soldiers in the Great War. The Avon rubber company converted it into offices and restaurant in 1972. After Avon left, it and Church Street Mill were converted into retirement apartments in 1997. For more information see: http://www.bradfordonavonmuseum.co.uk/archives/1522 from whose site much of the above information has been taken. The mill is listed, grade II*, with details at: https://www.historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1200197
