Title
Waterside After the Fire - MOT00469
Description
Waterside Mill fire 1901 - On 17th June 1901 fire destroyed the old spinning mill belonging to Fielden Bros. Built around 1800 and adjoining the Laneside cottages, the four-storey building was the first of many extensions and additions that would become Waterside Mills. The building, however, had been little used during the previous ten years - spinning operations had been concentrated at Robinwood and Lumbutts. The fire started in the single-storey building next to Rochdale Road, at that time occupied by James Henry Sutcliffe, a cabinet maker. 'Jim Harry', as he was known, later built a new factory at Harehill for the production of bedroom and dining room furniture.
