Mills in Leeds Research

Armley Mills 
This current mill replaced an earlier mill that in its turn had been built in 1788 as reputedly the largest fulling mill in the world. This structure was built 1805-7 by Benjamin Gott as a 4 storey, 23 bay "fireproof" mill. The earliest known such structure in the woollen branch and the oldest surviving Yorkshire example of the type in all branches. It is now home to the leeds Industrial Museum.
