Description: | c1965. A Manchester to Leeds diesel unit passing Valley Mills on its way to Leeds about 1965. At this time the Valley Mills had been closed as a textile firm but it continued being used for the manufacture of casings for sausages (sausage skins) and also for producing bonemeal from ground up bones. Many of these were horns which came from slaughter houses. Later on the Valley Mills was burned down and the firm that had occupied the site of the old gasworks (Oil Recoveries or Orcal) began to expand further on to the Valley site. The chimney in the background is Crank Mill and the spire belongs to St. Mary's-in-the-Wood church.
