The building, in 2014

Topcliffe Mill is a historic building in Topcliffe, North Yorkshire, a village in England.

The watermill was constructed in the mid-18th century, and served as a corn mill for many years.[1] It lies on the River Swale, and by the 19th century, was the northernmost navigable point on the river.[2] In its early years, the mill was managed by Henry Dresser, great grandfather of Henry Eeles Dresser.[3] The building was grade II listed in 1988.[1] The mill has been converted into flats, which flooded in 2012.[4]

The building is constructed of red brick and stone with a pantile roof. The main block has four storeys and three bays, to the right is a three-storey gabled bay, and a projecting two-storey bay. On the left gable is a three-story outshut. The doorways and the windows, which are casements, have elliptical-arched heads.[1]
