Description: | December 1994. Peel Mills, on both sides of Commercial Street, was divided into many separate business establishments after the textile mill had closed down. Most of the buildings were left standing, one of the most attractive ones being the tall red brick one shown here. This was one of the newest at the mill, being a replacement for a building on the same site that was burned down in 1915. Careful examination of the design shows it to be practically identical to a building at Britannia Mills, the reason being that this was a standard design from Mr. T. A. Buttery, a Morley architect who became Mayor of the Borough in 1926. Another identical building was also a fire replacement at Perseverance Mills on Station Road. Since this picture was taken the low white weaving shed buildings in front of the 4-storey block have been demolished to create more car parking space off the road.
