Listed Building record TQ 75 SE 64 - HAYLE MILL

Summary

Paperworks, built circa 1800 and originally a water-powered paper mill, with ongoing alterations up to the late 20th century (including a replacement overshot waterwheel of 1878, a mill chimney of 1891) and incorporating the former mill house (now offices). The earliest phases are of Kentish ragstone supporting an early 19th century timber frame, later additions being built of buff brick with some weatherboarded upper floors. The roofs are of natural slate or corrugated sheet. The works complex developed around the drying loft building (incorporating the water wheel and drive within the lower floor ) and finishing salle. The attached buildings are all running parallel to or at right angles to the drying loft, and comprise ancilliary buildings for the preparation and finishing of paper making, including a vat house, machine house (with rag cutting loft), broke and pulp stores, boiler house and the former mill house. There are also single storey ranges housing the beater room and boiling and size preparation rooms.
