Dalton Mills was once the largest textile mill in the region, employing over 2000 workers. It was built by Joseph Craven in 1869, replacing the original mill which was owned by Rachel Leach in the 1780's.
The mill was named Dalton Mills after the manager employed by Rachel Leach, a man called Dalton.
In its heyday between 1869 and 1877 the mill provided jobs for workers all over Keighley and the Worth Valley.
As the textile industry declined, the fortunes of Dalton Mills changed and up until 2004, it had been virtually empty for almost a decade. John Craven, the great-great grandson of Joseph, who had built the mill, eventually chose to sell Dalton Mills to Magna Holdings, to ensure it’s survival.
Part of the renovation of the Clock Tower has included restarting the landmark clock which has not ticked for 25 years. In the mill's heyday, thousands of workers relied on the clock to get to work on time, but the hands had not moved for a quarter of a century. Last year Magna Holdings repaired the clock, and illuminated the faces, so it can display the time to the whole of Dalton Lane again.

Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins, Homosassa, FL.
Yulee Sugar Mill Ruins Historic State Park is a Florida State Park located in Homosassa, off U.S. 19. It contains the ruins of a sugar plantation owned by David Levy Yulee. The original plantation covered more than 5,000 acres (20 km²), and was worked by approximately 1,000 enslaved African Americans. They raised sugar cane, citrus, and cotton. The mill (which was steam-driven) ran from 1851 to 1864. It produced sugar, syrup and molasses, the latter used in making rum.
After soaking, the corn is ground in a mill called a pilón, then cooked on grills over charcoal flame. "Instant" arepa flours are increasingly common in Colombia and other parts of arepa-loving Latin America, but this is the real deal right here.

St Helena Mill, Pool Street, Bolton, Greater Manchester.
Grade ll listed.
This eleven-bay steam-powered mill was built in the late 1820s with four storeys and an attic. It stands partly on the site of an earlier water-powered cotton mill of 1777. From the late 1830s it was occupied by Robert Walker and used for cotton waste spinning, probably on mules. Its continued use as a cotton waste mill probably explains the survival of the building. The site also included two red brick extensions of 1897 & 1906. The mill continued to be used for cotton waste spinning until 1979 and by 1999 the two extension had been demolished and the mill refurbished.
This mill is right across the river from my second favorite pizza place in Westford. I have been eating here for about three months, but I had never really noticed the mill before.

Salt's Mill is in the World Heritage Site of Saltaire. It was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1851 and was a textile mill. The model village of Saltaire was built to house the workers at the mill. Sir Titus provided everything his workers would need. There was a hospital, churches, a library and meeting hall, a gym, shops, a wash house and alms houses. The only thing he wouldn't allow was a public house!
Like most of the textile mills in Bradford, Salt's stopped producing cloth in 1986 and is now more well known as an art gallery showing the works of Bradford born David Hockney.

Crimble Mill, Heywood
The mill, built in the 19th century, is a grade II listed building and has been given a category C priority by English Heritage, which is hoping to save many of the nation's historic buildings from crumbling away. Category A is reserved for the most dilapidated of buildings, some of which are no more than ruins or shells.
Where once rosy-cheeked happy mill workers cheerily churned out masses of cotton and linen while enjoying an occasional healthy beating by the mill owner, now rows of depressed office workers hunch over computers and struggle in flourescent light. Progress eh?
