An icon of the Huddersfield skyline for around 150 years; the clock tower is still standing despite the devastating fire of 2016.
The mill buildings were constructed in the mid-1870s under the ownership of Ephraim Beaumont Taylor and Joshua Littlewood for the production of fine worsteds after the previous mill had burnt down in 1872.
At one time employing 600 people & with full order books even in 1978 the mill suffered a decline in its fortunes & sadly closed in 1983
Although there were long-running plans to redevelop the derelict mill into residential apartments, the main section of the building was destroyed by a fire which broke out in the early hours of 17 November 2016.
The mill also had a memorial plaque to 7 employees killed in the First World War which was stolen in 2008 but this was eventually returned albeit in a damaged condition.
There is ample on-street parking nearby
