Harley and Adamroyd - HPC00380
Description
NAME: HARLEY (HOUSE) MILL
LOCATION: Harley Street, Todmorden
REF: CD40
GRID REF: 936 247
CLASSIFICATION: C
CONDITION: Mostly used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid-late 19C (site earlier)
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: An early water powered site that was constructed at the foot of Oak Hill Clough (now culverted). A worsted mill was recorded as operating here in 1786. There is a three storey, cottage type building of a similar date just below the present main part which may have been associated with this original mill. Most of the present site consists of a weaving shed and a low level building. Possibly this building has been reduced in height, and certainly some parts in front have been demolished. No evidence of chimney.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The remaining parts seem mostly used and divided between two and three small businesses (including textiles and tool equipment). The older part below has been cleaned and is used for private dwellings. Has also had a number of alterations.
