An early C19 timber-framed and weather boarded water mill adjoining the
west end of the former Mill House, now called Mathyns. It stands back
from the road in a picturesque setting with a 5 arched brick sluice way
and a mill pond between the mill and the road. 2 storeys and attics.
The windows are double-hung sashes with glazing bars, in cased frames.
Roof slate, mansard, half hipped, with a hoist loft on the south front.
The interior has fine C19 water mill machinery, not now working but repaired
in 1949.
Blue Mills Bridge, Blue Mills and Mathyns form a good picturesque group.
Graue Mill and Museum, an operating waterwheel grist mill and homestead, is dedicated to maintaining a bridge between past and present generations in the belief that understanding our history is vital to our future.

At the rear of the Godbe Mill, this enclosed conveyor belt system would have discarded something -- probably the tailings -- into trucks to be hauled away (& hopefully disposed of legally -- as the tailings would have been contaminated by nasty chemicals).
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.

Once the largest textile mill in the region, Dalton Mills employed over 2000 workers. Built by Joseph Craven in 1869, the new mill replaced a much smaller 1780′s building. In its heyday between 1869 and 1877 the mill provided jobs for workers all over Keighley and the Worth Valley.
In 1889 the contents of the mills were sold at auction. A noble comb was sold for £30 and a pair of standard scales and weights fetched one shilling (5p). The total at the end of just one day of the sale was £11,585. Part of the proceeds went to buy new equipment, some to pay debts, a portion to pay the remaining employees.
In 1904, the flywheel which transferred the power from a huge beam engine (the largest in the world) to drive the looms exploded. The engine was replaced within two months by a pair of horizontal engines.
