Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology was commissioned by Germane Properties to undertake a Level 3 building record of Hermitage Mill located on Hermitage Lane, Mansfield, Nottingham centred on Ordnance Grid Reference SK 52398 59881 prior to the site's proposed conversion into 25 flats, heritage space and coffee bar (Planning Application No. 2014/0616/PR). Hermitage Mill is believed to have been constructed in 1780 by the fourth Duke of Portland as part of a series of mills along the River Maun. It was built during the boom in mill building that occurred in the late eighteenth century. Originally powered by a water wheel it was converted to steam power in the nineteenth century, producing hosiery. The building continued to be enlarged and altered until the late twentieth century. The principal elements of the current building were however in existence by the publication of the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1878. Hermitage Mill is a good example of a cotton mill from the late eighteenth century with much original fabric surviving, though the original machinery has all been removed. It is of note that the layout of the wheel pit and the location of the gearing mechanism at Hermitage Mill is the same as that recorded in 1843 at Field Mill, also located on the River Maun. |
