Title
Globe Mills, Slaithwaite, Colne Valley, c1985 - HPC00416
Description
LLOCATION: Bridge Street, Slaithwaite
REF: CV24
GRID REF: 082 141
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Mostly used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Two large, late 19C spinning mills on either side of Bridge Street. The main building (north side) is a large four storey mill with centrally placed tower. Part of the northerly facing frontage is projected out and features decorative arched windows. Also large octagonal stone chimney (now with brick cap) remains. It was built in 1887 by the Globe Worsted Company and the second mill across the road was built a couple of years later - a slightly smaller, five storey stone building with a small tower at one corner.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The mills are still used for worsted spinning, although the 1889 building looks only semi used. They are both impressive structures, but may become vulnerable if they fall into disuse.
