Description: | September 1966. The Gillroyd Mills and the Bantam Grove Mills were the last two to be built along the course of Owlers Beck which originated near the top of High Steeet. This photograph is taken on land belonging to Gillroyd Mills and in the foreground there is a flooded clay pit. The clay was used by the shareholders of the Gillroyd Mills Company to make their own bricks when the mill was being built in 1834-35. The course of Owlers Beck can be followed down the centre of the photograph by the line of trees until it reaches the Bantam Grove Mills. This dates from the 1880s and had just closed down when the photograph was taken.
