Loose Valley & Tovil Conservation Area Appraisal Survey
Loose Valley Conservation Area has been recognised due to the significance of the mills along Loose Stream (which fed into the River Medway to the north), together with the associated grander houses and workers cottages. Now a green, this linear Conservation Area would have been a busy, industrial section, full of noise and activity. Within the group of remaining (converted) mills is the GII* c.1800 paper mill, Hayle Mill, as well as a further two Grade II listed mills and further listed houses associated with the mills. It should be noted that much of the industrial heritage within Maidstone has been lost, and therefore this increases the significance of this Conservation Area.
Survey Closes: 14 December 2025.
