On the 21st of January, 1905, the worst nightmate of any mill owner came true, as fire ripped through Old Lane Mill, Halifax. It was the first mill fire of the year, but before the end, another three mills in a ten mile radius were badly damaged by fire.
The first mill on the site was recorded in 1816, but this one was built in 1825. Two years later, in 1827, owner Akroyd built the first Jacquard looms in Britain, and the mill was iron-framed and fitted with stone floors – the first in any British mill – to support the machinery.
Today those floors are still there, stripped of machinery, but remants of old looms and chutes are still there.
Apparently the nightwatchman used to fire a blunderbuss each night to signal he was on duty. Thankfully, he is no longer there...

Mill Lake has something to offer everyone. You'll find everything from quite picnic areas to an impressive spray park and play grounds for children. Being one of the most popular parks for walkers, joggers and fisherman.
Mill Lake is a great location if you want to get out and stroll around a beautiful lakeside setting. Enjoy a few laps around the two Kilometer path which circles the lake while viewing the variety of birds which make this area their home. Relax in one of the lakeside benches or enjoy an incredible view of Mt Baker from the floating boardwalk.

Built 1907 by the Hartford Mill (Oldham)Co Ltd. Extended 1920 and 1924. Closed 1959 and used by Littlewoods as a mail order warehouse until 1992.
Architect was F W Dixon, there were 120,000 spindles and power was provided by a very impressive 1500 hp Urmson & Thompson engine.
After years of neglect Oldham Council have managed to get it de-listed by English Heritage and the demolition team moved in in less that a week. Another bit of local history lost for ever.
A nice jute mill (forgot name, sorry!) with pretty a pretty damn comical access right infront of the 'mobile police surveillance unit' (defo a 'UNIT' lol), so thanks to the parking wardens of Tayside for that one ;)
Visited with Speed after visiting the tayside police to alleviate them of about £5k worth of camera gear, YONK!!
Inside stripped, all that was left was a few slices of newspaper, a sweedish brass bodied burner, and some pretty dramatic shadows & cast iron uprights.
One of the prettiest places in Tazewell County is Taylor's Mill. I can remember coming here as a young boy with my dad and Granddad to have Mr. Walt Taylor grind our Corn and Wheat.

Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations, the latter largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody. The family took a somewhat paternalistic attitude toward the workers, providing medical care for all and limited education to the children, but all laboured roughly 72 hours per week until 1847 when a new law shortened the hours

This mill was built during the 1860's and was acquired by the Slaithwaite Spinning Co in 1902. Next to the mill buildings is the Huddersfield Narrow Canal - this waterway connected Huddersfield in West Yorkshire to Ashton-Under-Lyme in Greater Manchester. Opened in 1811, it had taken 17 years to build, instead of the original plan of 5 years! The main stumbling block had been the construction of Standedge, tunnel through the Peninnes.
For many years known as 'The Mill Tavern' and bought by the Wadworth Brewery from Punch Taverns in 2015. Wadworth have described it as their first pub in Surrey, but although named after the mill from which Shottermill in Surrey gets its name, both the mill and pub are in West Sussex.
The first mill on the site on Bryant Creek was built by William Holeman in 1861. Alva Hodgson bought the mill in 1884. The original burned and Hodgson built a new one in 1894 and, in 1898, his brother George Hodgson became operator and part owner of the mill.
The mill was built over a spring that is reported to produce 28,900,000 gallons of water a day. This water stays a constant 58 degrees year round.

Howe Bridge Cotton Spinning Co was registered in 1868 and built four mills in Atherton. By 1891 it was the fourth largest cotton spinning firm in Lancashire and by 1922 had raised capacity to 700,000 spindles. The last mill, seen here in the background, was built in 1919. It closed as a textile factory in early 1999.
