Britannia Mills
The foreground (transverse) mill was built c1830-40 and is a four storey mill plus attic with wooden floors. Originally owned by John Firth and Sons and known as Firths Mill. In 1861 they built the large fireproof mill beyond as a room and power mill and the complex became Britannia mills. More information in Giles & Goodall - Yorkshire Textile Mills 1770-1930.
