Nestled in the picturesque Hardcastle Crags on the edge of Hebden Bridge in West Yorkshire, the National Trust owned
mill dates back to 1803 and has now been restored as a fully sustainable visitor attraction that charts the history
and nature of the area and the restoration was in true keeping with the mill's heritage. The building is one of the
National Trust's flagship projects in their centenary year.
The work involved numerous projects within the mill
and a number of outbuildings, which resulted in an environment that retained the key characteristics of an early 19th
century cotton mill. Ornate Interiors used sand and lime on the mill, pump room and toll house as well as traditional
clay plastering on the weaving shed and nearby cottages.
Our reputation for sensitive projects was clearly
demonstrated by our empathy towards the mill's architectural design, even when the walls and ceilings of all of the
buildings presented a number of issues that had to be countered, the client was highly delighted with the end result.
Sand and lime allowed the building to breathe as well as prevent damp. Plastering with clay regulates the humidity
of building and can be self coloured to reflect earth tones.
