Old textile mill and chimney on Boys Lane, Halifax.

I posted a photo of this mill (Shaw Lodge Mill) and chimney soon after taking it, on 20th April last year; this is an alternative view, looking straight upwards whilst walking up the cobbled lane between them.

Disused mill on a cobbled lane in Halifax

I took this in April on a walk up around Southowram from Halifax centre - this mill is at the foot of the hill in Siddal. I like our old mills (particularly the disused ones) - both their structures and their history.

1800's textiles mill and chimney on a cobbled lane in Halifax

Today I had to leave my car at the garage in Halifax to have some work done, so I decided to spend the morning walking around town with my camera (for 'locals' the route was up Beacon Hill Rd to Southowram, over the top and down behind Siddal, past the Shears pub, then back behind the Nestle factory to the town centre again).

This photo is looking up Boys Lane at Shaw Lodge Mill and its chimney. They were built in the 1800's for woollen/worsted textile weaving by John Holdsworth & Co and remained in their ownership until 2005. (I think they're rented out as separate units now).
