Title
Ripponden Mill - HPC00259
Description
NAME: RIPPONDEN MILL
LOCATION: Ripponden
REF: RY 19
GRID REF: 040 197
CLASSIFICATION: C
CONDITION: Derelict
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid – late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: To be found in the centre of Ripponden, this is another very old mill site. It dates back possibly as far as the late 15C and was both a corn and a fulling mill at various times. Cotton spinning was adopted c1798, and the mill was enlarged before being burned down in 1858. It was rebuilt in 1876, but this too was severely damaged by fire just a couple of years ago. A stone built, two storey building along the river has survived, but most of the site appears to have been demolished. The mill pond has been filled in and is now part of a recreation ground.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: An historic industrial site, but unfortunately little remains here now. However, the main surviving building has been saved and is currently being renovated by a cement company which now owns the site. The mill and its history are an important part of Ripponden’s heritage
