Title
Glen Dyeworks - HPC00323
Description
NAME: GLEN DYEWORKS
LOCATION: Pudsey, Cornholme
REF: CD 56
GRID REF: 908 265
CLASSIFICATION: C
CONDITION: Fully used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Late 19C/early 20C (site earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Quite a large site in the steep sided tributary valley of Redwater Clough. It consists of mostly two storey, stone and brick buildings with sky lighted roofs. Circular brick chimney. There are remains of older stone walls and this may have been the site of Pudsey Mill, which was manufacturing bobbins before 1850. It was possibly water powered and there is still a small dam and weir upstream. It was converted and rebuilt to a dye works in the late 19C.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The site is now fully used by a rubber manufacturing company. The chimney stands out as a landmark, but little now of historical interest.
