Description: | April 1962.
This photograph shows the final stages of the demolition of the Queen's and Albert Mills, long situated behind Morley Town Hall. The timbers at the front of the image appear somewhat charred as these are from the Albert Mill, which, in August 1961, was the source of the fire which ultimately destroyed the dome of the Town Hall tower. Work on the restoration of the dome did not begin until May 1962 and took the rest of the year. The Town Hall did not lose its black, grimy appearance until late 1972 and early 1973 when several of Morley's public buildings were sandblasted before the local government merger with Leeds.
