Title A name given to the resource Harry Pogson collection Subject The topic of the resource In the 1980s much of the industrial heritage of the South Pennine area was being changed or in some cases lost. Pennine Heritage commissioned a survey of the condition of mills in the area. Photographs were taken when the survey was carried out, and the survey results have been added to those images in this collection. Still Image A static visual representation. Examples include paintings, drawings, graphic designs, plans and maps. Recommended best practice is to assign the type Text to images of textual materials.

Title A name given to the resource Woodhouse Mill, Woodhouse Road, Todmorden - HPC00121 Description An account of the resource Extracts from the Todmorden and Walsden Website: In 1830, the three Ingham brothers bought a plot of land in the Castle Street area. Trading as Richard Ingham & Sons, they built Woodhouse Mill as a steam powered cotton-spinning mill in 1832. It faced onto the canal, with a tier of doors designed to take in goods directly from the boats. These doors were situated in the middle of the front wall. The hoist above these doors was attached to a small triangular pediment, which is inscribed 1832. The engine house and boiler house, together with the warehouse, were detached from the main building, as is the chimney. The mill was 5 storeys high, ten bays long by four bays deep. There was no weaving shed at Woodhouse, so initially all the weaving was put out to local handloom weavers. When its sister mill, Cinderhill, had a weaving shed added, the two mills ran in conjunction and home weaving was discontinued. In the 1850's they added an extension to the side of the mill, 4 storeys high with a flat roof that carried a cast iron reservoir. The manager of the mill in 1880 was Elias Barker. He entered into a formal partnership with James Greenwood, an engineer from Halifax, and trading as Barker & Greenwood they took out a lease on both Cinderhill and Woodhouse Mills. The partnership was dissolved in 1884, from which time Elias Barker continued alone. He was last mentioned as a tenant in 1897 when his place was taken by Wilson Greenwood. It seems the mill was later purchased by Wilson Greenwood, possibly after the death of John Arthur Ingham in 1900. Mr. Greenwood was still running the mill in 1930. It then closed and was left derelict for many years. The mill was made a Grade II Listed Building and became a possible candidate for restoration and conversion to a textile and industrial museum. However, in 1994 an accidental fire gutted the interior and left it without a roof and end wall. This put paid to any conversion, but more recently a businessman purchased it and has restored it faithfully to its former glory on the outside of the building, whilst converting the interior into residential apartments.
