                <text>In the 1980s much of the industrial heritage of the South Pennine area was being changed or in some cases lost. Pennine Heritage commissioned a survey of the condition of mills in the area. Photographs were taken when the survey was carried out, and the survey results have been added to those images in this collection.</text>

              <text>NAME:  GAUXHOLME CORN MILL

LOCATION: Gauxholme

REF:  CD24

GRID REF:  929 232

CLASSIFICATION:  C

CONDITION:  Semi-used

APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS:  From early 19C

DESCRIPTION/HISTORY:  Close to the confluence of Midgelden Clough with Walsden Water stood the ancient manorial corn mill.  The site still survives – now a small complex of mainly two storey buildings, including some early 19C stone built, later brick built ones, a small weaving shed and an early square stone chimney.  One possible 18C building on the site – may have originally been farmhouse/domestic building.  The site was converted from corn to textiles in the late 19C, and partially burned down in 1899.

PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL:  Part of the site is still used for textile manufacture and by a builders’ merchants.  Some parts up for sale when visited.  Of interest as an historic mill site with a good example of an early chimney and mill buildings, although some of the latter could be improved.



NAME: DANCROFT MILL

LOCATION:  Gauxholme

REF:  CD25

GRID REF: 930 231

CLASSIFICATION: D

CONDITION: Fully used

APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS:  Late 19C

DESCRIPTION/HISTORY:  Most of the site is brick built – unusual for this area.  It was originally known as Dancroft Shed and was erected in the mid 1860’s.  A weaving shed remains, along with a two storey building and various modern extensions and buildings.  Square brick chimney.

PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL:  This site is fully used by a firm of sizers, slashers and beamers – hence still connected with the textile trade.  Chimney is quite a good landmark.
