I have placed this cache here as have always been impressed by this Mill and hope others appreciate it too. There are grand plans to re-develop this area as part of the South Bank proposals.
Parking is available on the roadside close by on Goodman Street.
Please rehide the cache well as this is a very popular cycle / walking route in and out of Leeds centre, stealth may be needed.
Hunslet Mill was constructed by William Fairbairn for John Wilkinson and completed circa 1842. By 1847 some 1,500 female staff were employed in the mill reeling fllax. It was occupied by a firm of linen manufacturers called Richard Buckton and Son[ from 1868 and then by a firm of blanket weavers called Dodgson and Hargreaves from the mid-1920[ until it closed in 1966.
