The topic of the resource
In the 1980s much of the industrial heritage of the South Pennine area was being changed or in some cases lost. Pennine Heritage commissioned a survey of the condition of mills in the area. Photographs were taken when the survey was carried out, and the survey results have been added to those images in this collection.

Description
An account of the resource
NAME: RISHWORTH MILLS
LOCATION: Rishworth
REF: RY 4
GRID REF: 036 179
CLASSIFICATION: C
CONDITION: Mostly used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid – late 19C (site earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: This was the site of a corn mill that was in existence by the early 17C. Milling continued here until 1857, when much of the mill was destroyed by flooding. It was replaced by the very large four storey stone spinning mill now on the site. It has a square shaped plan with an ornamental tower and small weaving shed. It began operating c1870 and was powered by a massive 57.5ft diameter waterwheel. Across the stream is the ‘Old Mill’, built in 1836 as a cotton concern. This part of the site has been much altered and rebuilt and consists of a four storey building with a small tower, other two storey buildings, a derelict engine house and the remains of a square chimney. The old dam remains upstream and old watercourses can be seen.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The large ‘New Mill’ is still used for yarn spinning and the ‘Old Mill’ site has been bought by Rishworth School, who have converted some of the buildings into a swimming pool, sports hall and classrooms – a fairly unique example of re-use. The site has been recommended for inclusion in the revised list of Listed Buildings in Calderdale
