Description:The building supposedly dates from the 1820s, making it the oldest brick textile mill still in use in the north of England. All the manufacturing processes are based on the single site, making it an example of modern working at that time. Glendinning & Gaunt occupied the mill in the 1830s and were known to have ten steam-powered looms in 1839. During their occupancy a terrace of ten back-to-back worker's cottages were built by the entrance. Further building work took place c1850, when a shade was added to the Union Street side of the site, and again in the 1880s with the construction of a dyeworks (the single-storey building to the right of the picture). In the 1870s a four-bedroomed house was built by the entrance, which became the home of William Stannard when he bought the mill in the early 1880s.
