Title
Lydgate Mill - HPC00160
Description
NAME: LYDGATE MILL
LOCATION: Lydgate
REF: CD 47
GRID REF: 921 257
CLASSIFICATION: C
CONDITION: Semi used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid-late 19C (site earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: The name suggests that this was the earliest mill site in this part of the Upper Calder. It is certainly recorded as a cotton mill before 1850. By the beginning of the 20C it had probably been converted to other uses, and today there is little evidence of a former textile mill. There is a small, four storey, mid 19C stone building and a few adjacent small buildings, and part of a brick built weaving shed.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: Part of the site (mainly the former weaving shed) is used by a builder’s merchant. Otherwise little left to see.
