Full Description
Former textile mill complex. Bell Mill, later to be called Brothock Mill, was built in 1806. Described by Hume in 1974 as: 'built in the mid 19th century. Two 3-storey and attic part-harled rubble buildings, one 6-bay, the other 3- by 8-bay, with round-headed windows on the ground floor. A further 3-storey and attic rubble block has a tall brick water-tower on one corner. This was the first steam powered mill in Arbroath. Now part disused, rest in multiple occupation'. The 2006 map shows that most of the southern buildings in the complex have been demolished.
