St Annes Mill in Kirkstall as it was in 1970
St Ann's Mills was founded as a water mill about 1775 and the ruins are still visible today. The present building was constructed around 1830 and was among the first "pupose built" steam-powered mills in Leeds. It has beautiful stone-flagged floors and employs the "fireproof brick arch" construction that was widely used for early nineteenth century textile mills, but the pitched roof was badly damaged by fire in 1975, and the Council made a most unsatisfactory repair.
