Title
Moorbrook Mill, New Mill, Huddersfield - HPC00333
Description
NAME: MOOR BROOK MILLS
LOCATION: Holmfirth Road, New Mill
REF: HU 38
GRID REF: 162 088
CLASSIFICATION: B and C
CONDITION: Fully used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid – late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Formerly known as New Mill Mills, the oldest part of this site is a three and four storey, single gabled stone building (date stone 1838). Some later additions. Adjacent is a larger, late 19C four storey building with small tower – possibly upper stories been removed. Large weaving sheds of varying dates and modern industrial buildings stretch out towards Glendale Mill (see HV 35). Octagonal stone chimney (capped) is still in use. This was probably a water powered site originally, and the long mill race has disappeared under the later extensions to the site. Became known as Moorbrook Mills after being taken over by Moorhouses and Brooks in 1912.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: This mill is still engaged in textile manufacturing and is quite a large industrial site. It is still owned by a local family firm.
