2nd on our list and I found this place to be delightful, visited with Magpie423, Leeds Explorer, Mr Dystopia and Renrutt.
History - quite difficult to find much about this place so I've cheated and borrowed
Bailey mill in Delph was built in 3 stages, starting in 1863 with later additions in 1865 and 1871 respectively.
The mill was owned by the Mallalieu family who were in the textile business with cotton and later moving onto wool.
The firm went into administration in 1996. They came out of administration when they were bought by another Delph weaving company, Gledhills. However, in doing so, most of the business was transferred to Valley Mill, just up the road. Bailey Mill remained in use until about January 2000.
