Dean Clough was once an important carpet factory. It has been transformed into art and photography galleries and offices together with theatre, cafe, shop and other businesses attached. It is just enormous and well worth a walk around if you have a few hours to spare.
SE0925 : Dean Clough, "D Mill" Dean Clough is indeed a wondrous complex. The best view of all is from the North Bridge Flyover. This is barred to pedestrians so don't blame me if your master shot gets you arrested. A half way decent walk round this complex to get pictures is a couple of hours and probably a couple of miles too.
