Bit of a hard nut to crack but as they say if you don't first time succeed try again, and we did for about 10 years
Established in 1850 as steam-powered worsted-spinning mill. The first building, a spinning-shed, no longer extant. The complex comprises a six-storeyed twenty-bay pedimented mill, timber-floored over a fireproof ground floor which includes internal boiler house, attached engine houses (one for a beam engine, a later one for a vertical engine, storeyed warehouses, single and double-storeyed shed, offices, including time office, and dwellings). Mill run as a worsted-spinning factory by John Maude and Co until being taken over c1897 by John Horsfall and Sons and converted to manufacture of woollen blankets.

We visited the site a few months ago... half of the mill was down with the rest to follow (presuming its all down now)

they hadn't started work on the offices but it was not accessible due to the workforce on site

Not been back for about a year or so but think I was told they had started work on it, will have a look next time I’m up that way and let you know mate

Glad you did perceive. Great report and pix. Sad that it's more than likely all gone now. What a load of old bobbins....
