In the event the demolition was not carried out in 1996.
Small brick house aligned east to west, very irregular bond, bricks with horizontal skintlings. Test holes reveal that house has literally no foundations, and has cracked in several places. South front had central door (now blocked) with window to each side on each floor; door led to central passage. Two rooms on each floor at rear as well, also stairs; northeast room has cast iron range, external-type window into front room, and access to later north extension now gone. Internal gable stack to west end, two external stacks to east end. One good cast iron fireplace. Date probably about 1800. Confirmed no trace of mills.
