Title
Lord Holme Mill [Gibson's Mill] c1910. - ALC08056
Description
Gibson Mill began its life around 1803 as a water-powered spinning mill. Less than a hundred years later, it was called Lord Holme Mill, part of a major tourist attraction. It was eventually left to the National Trust by Abraham Gibson of Greenwood Lee when he died in 1956
Recently restored by the National Trust. The mill was built in the early days of the industrial revolution (c1800) by Abraham Gibson. It was powered by a 5hp water wheel. Work had stopped by the end of the century. It then took on a new role as a Roller Skating Rink and Dance Hall with boating on the mill ponds and became very popular with day trippers.
HARDCASTLE CRAGS
Passing Lord Holme Mill [Gibson's Mill], in a few minutes the tourist reaches Hardcastle Crags. These crags are simply the debris of a landslip many years ago.
Extracts from "Guide to Hardcastle Crags, Hebden Bridge & Neighbourhood including Cragg Valley, Colden Valley and Heptonstall".
