History
Black Carr Mill was built on the initiative of the inhabitants of Trawden as a steam-powered cotton-weaving mill, let on a room and power basis. Subscriptions were sought in 1880 and the mill opened in 1882. The mill, occupying a constricted site beside the Trawden Beck, was stone-built and comprised a three-storey warehouse, office and preparation block with a single-storey weaving shed attached to its rear side with the engine and boiler houses attached in turn to the back wall of the shed. In 1885 a mill extension, in effect a mirror-image of the original mill, was built to the north. The warehouse block was extended to the north in 1888, and a new office block was erected in 1891. 820 looms were in operation by 1912, and a new boiler had to be installed. One of the warehouses was affected by a fire in 1932, and Messrs H W Bannister of Hollin Hall Mill and Forest Shed, Trawden, moved part of their business to Black Carr Mill which was still trading as Hopkinsons (Trawden). Messrs Hopkinson bought the premises off the Trawden Mill Company in 1948, and in 1969 William Baird and Company, also known as Bairdtex, took over. The mill closed in 1975, but was known to have been occupied by Victoria Forge (Nelson) Ltd. Part of the original weaving shed was demolished and redeveloped in 1990. Archaeological building recording was carried out by S Haigh in February 2002 prior to the conversion of two floors to residential use

The warehouse block is three storied, with a two-storey extension and added two-storey office block, and the weaving shed is single storied. The mill closed in the late 20th century and the original weaving shed was demolished.
