Title
Steps Mill, Honley - HPC00336
Description
NAME: STEPS MILL
LOCATION: Huddersfield Road, Honley
REF: HU 52
GRID REF: 142 127
CLASSIFICATION: C
CONDITION: Fully used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Late 19C/early20C (site earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Close to the confluence of Mag Brook with the Holme, there was an early fulling mill on this site. By the 1790’s a scribbling engine had been installed and in the early part of the 19C a separate cotton mill was built. By 1850 it had grown into a large woollen mill. Little or nothing remains of these early mills and the site now consists of mostly modern low level buildings. Much of the site was demolished March 1982 and subsequently rebuilt. Some late 19C/early 20C parts at the northern end, including a circular stone ‘candle stick’ chimney and former weaving shed.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: This old textile mill site has now been adapted and converted into a large factory producing soft drinks. Site is of historical interest, but little left to see of its past
