Description: | September 1965.
View of Quarry Mills (David Scholes Ltd.) in the High Street, then disused and shown shortly after its closure. The earliest part of the mill is the stone building on the right hand side. The mill then spread to the other side of the road, in a red brick building where the couple can be seen walking. Later still, probably as the result of a fire, the newer red brick building in the centre of the picture was constructed. By the year 2000 this was the only part of the mill still standing. Due to the large amount of concrete used in its construction the owners of this part of the mill had begun to use it for the storage of records taken from solicitors' offices etc. The fire prevention system built into the original mill building made it suitable for this purpose. A car park for this was built on the site of the stone mill.
