Title
Thorpe Mill, Kebroyd, Triangle - HPC00404
Description
NAME: THORPE MILL
LOCATION: Halifax Road, Kebroyd
REF: RY 30
GRID REF: 044 215
CLASSIFICATION: B
CONDITION: Fully used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid 19C (site probably earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: This was possibly the site of one of the Kebroyd fulling mills. Located close to the meeting of Lumb Clough with the Ryburn, a Thorp of Priestley’s Mill was recorded in 1782 as a woollen mill – a very early date. There was certainly a woollen mill here by 1850. There is quite a good example of an early Victorian mill building – three storey, stone built along simple rectangular lines. However, it has been altered and added to at later dates. Possibly other buildings and chimney have disappeared, especially near the river. The mill pond is now within the grounds of Thorpe House next door.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The site is fully used as a garage, and a residential house/office has been built onto the main building. A scrap yard behind the mill is a bit unsightly.
