Rawson's Mill/Worsted mill built 1825-28 for James Ackroyd, and acquired by the Rawson family in 1836.
This building is listed because it is the oldest and largest surviving example of a multi-storey, steam-powered, iron-framed textile mill in the important textile centre of Halifax, it is probably also the best preserved example for its date in Yorkshire.
The engine house occupies the full width of the mill, at the west end, with panelled reveal to the window and a decorative plaster ceiling. A large semi-circular recess once housed the large flywheel.
The inside of this place is very dangerous, the flores are more like a sive
We found some weird and wonderful things in the grounds of the mill, some very strange things lying about
Obviously, being mature adults we didnt mess about on the stairs
But the most suprising thing in the entire site, was a ceiling rose
