Description: | 7th March 2008.
Image shows the entrances to light industrial units beneath the viaduct arches taken from Bath Road. The units number from 70 on the left and are part of Midland Mills, also at the other side of the viaduct. Midland Mills has entrances on Water Lane and Silver Street. The mills were built by John Jubb and date from 1793. In their heyday they were the largest textile machinery manufacturers in the country. With the decline of the textile industry the mills closed in 1981, and have since been divided into small units for light industry. Plans for Holbeck Urban Village include renovating the mills, incorporating modern design while still retaining the character of the original building. The disused railway viaduct may become an elevated walkway leading into City Station. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Midland Mills Holbeck Urban Village Bath Road | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
