Description: | c1890. A photograph of John Wilson, who was a member of Morley's first Town Council. He was a manufacturer who owned Melbourne and Adelaide Mills on Melbourne Street and Middleton Road, and also Highfield Mills at Gildersome. Sometimes he has been confused with the John Wilson of the firm Wilson and Swallow of Brunswick Mills in Ackroyd Street. It was this latter John Wilson that played a major part in forming the Friends' Adult School in Morley and then getting the money collected for a purpose-built building for the organisation, also in Ackroyd Street close to his mill.
