The building is a good example of a mid-19th-century spinning mill set prominently to the south of the site, and is the main remaining element of what was once a substantial mill complex. The spinning mill was converted and used as the offices for the Weensland Spinning Co. (presumably the canted window was added at this stage) in the 20th century. The Weensland Spinning Co ceased trading in the 1990s at, which point the building was converted into function suites and associated accommodation by Crouch Hogg and Waterman. The majority of the mill buildings on the site including the main mill building with ornamental cupola were lost to a fire in 1999. The remaining brick chimney was given Listed Building Consent for demolition in 2002. List description revised following resurvey (2008).
