Low Mill, Ellar Ghyll, Menston (detail 2)
The factory is named on the 1908 map as Higher Gill Mill (there was a Gill Mill across the road), on the 1956 map as Eller Ghyll Mill, and on current maps as Low Mill. I haven't found any information about what type of textiles were woven here (assuming it was textiles) or when it closed. It seems to be used now (or most recently) as a general engineering works. The beck in the foreground, which forms the Leeds/Bradford boundary, would have originally provided power for the mill, as there is a mill pond shown on old maps.
