Daisyfield Mill is the largest surviving corn mill in Blackburn. Corn milling in Blackburn dates as far back as Medieval times and many sites survived into the 19th Century.

Daisyfield Corn and Flour Mill on the Leeds & Liverpool Canal is a large, impressive building constructed in 1871 by Joseph Appleby & Sons. The mill boasted five storeys(including the basement) and was built out of brick on a stone base. Two railway tracks connected the mill to the east Lancashire line. Cast iron pillars and brick vaulted ceilings were designed to add protection against fire. There was a boiler house, a massive grain silo capable of holding 20, 000 sacks of wheat, a large single storey office block, boardroom and two cottages. The grain silo is inscribed ‘Appleby and sons' and the brick work suggests it was built later than the rest of the mill. On the canal side there are two hoist towers, ornately decorated and with pyramid roofs.
