Description:The South extension of Tean Hall Mill built in 1823 to house steam powered Jacquard looms. It was designed by James Trubshaw of Great Haywood.

In 1747 John and Nathaniel Philips took over their father's linen tape-weaving business and established the company 'J. & N. Philips', based at Tean Hall. A loom house and warehouse were added in the 1770s. In 1823 a four-storey mill building, designed by James Trubshaw of Little Haywood, was added to house steam-powered looms. in the 20th century a large garment making department was added and the company diversified into making anything from medal ribbons and clothing labels, to artificial arteries for use in major surgery. J. & N. Philips closed in 1970, but the factory continued as Tean Hall Mills before merging with its sister company, Rykneld Mills of Derby, to become Rykneld Tean Ltd.
