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).

Camera/lens settings: ISO 100, f/14, 1/80s, 18mm, hand held.
