Description: | November 1988. The site of Perseverance Mill, Station Road, one of three buildings with the name Perseverance Mill or Works in Morley. This was the most well-known, but there was another owned by the same firm, A. Marshall and Son Ltd., in West Street, while at one time the Commercial Street Mills of Greenwood and Walsh was the Perseverance Works of Ackroyd and Best, miners' safety lamp manufacturers. This reverted to a textile mill when Ackroyd and Best moved to the Beacon Works on Britannia Road in 1911. The Perseverance Mill shown in ruins here was the fourth mill downstream from Bruntcliffe on the original Valley Beck, located between Victoria Mill and Crank Mill. The beck originally filled the mill dams until culverted. Perseverance Mill was built in the third quarter of the 19th century but it was rebuilt in 1915 after suffering a very severe fire, and was even extended by taking up some of the land of Station Road Park.
