Description
NAME: CALDERVALE MILL
LOCATION: Cornholme
REF: CD 55
GRID REF: 907 264
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Fully used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid – late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Probably built soon after 1850, this site was originally known as Calder Vale shed. Some machinery was transferred to the newly built Frostholme Mill nearby in the 1860’s. Weaving shed remains on the site, which is built over the small tributary of Redivate Clough. Also stone built, two storey building, engine house and circular stone chimney. Small dam behind.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The site is now used as a saw mill/wood yard and seems to be in reasonable condition.
NAME: FROSTHOLME MILL
LOCATION: Burnley Road, Cornholme
REF: CD 53
GRID REF: 907 163
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Mostly used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid – late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: An impressive, four storey, mainly stone built mill along Burnley Road (A646). Built around the 1860/70’s it is of an interesting design, with some later brick additions including a small square tower and a tall circular chimney. Engine house built on to the main building. Behind, there are extensive weaving sheds, originally built c1860’s and later extended.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The mill is mostly used by a furniture manufacturer at present. The main mill building has been cleaned, and is a major feature in the built environment of this part of the Calder Valley. It could become vulnerable if it falls into disuse.
