Title
Spring Lane Mill, Burnlee, Huddersfield - HPC00141
Description
NAME: SPRING LANE MILL
LOCATION: Woodhead Road, Burnlee
REF: HU 10
GRID REF: 133 077
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Mostly used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid-late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: This mill was originally built c 1840 by Jonas Brook of Meltham Mills fame. It seems likely part of the original mill survives – a three storey, stone built building at right angles to the present main building. This dates from 1869 – a large, five storey stone building with a small square tower and various architectural embellishments. Tall, octagonal stone chimney (date stone 1892). The mill pond has been filled in and is now covered by a car park.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The main mill building is used for woollen yarn spinning (although does not appear to be at full capacity). Parts of it are in poor condition and some patching-up has already taken place. The older building, however, has been cleaned and refurbished and is now used as a motorcycle centre.
