Drop down Brighouse Road and you will soon find what was once the main gate of the whole
mill. How long it has been blocked up is hard to tell but the traffic has certainly crusted the lower part of the gatehouse with filth. It is a massive and symmetrical building of understated quality. The pediment is full width but flattened: the gateway arch springs from solid quoins and is modelled after Tudor shapes. The side doors were probably where the workers with
pen at one side and hand at the other, were tagged in and out. No change there then.
