Hollins Mill

Hollins Mill, Todmorden and Walsden in Calderdale, was built by the Ormerod family as an integrated cotton mill between 1856 and 1858. In 1905 it was bought by Caleb Hoyle, and continued with the Hoyle name until 1930 when it was bought by W.A.Barker, continuing in cotton spinning and manufacturing until after 1963. The weaving shed with its northlight roof is alongside Rochdale Road whilst the spinning mill is in the background with the hip-roofed engine house standing forward to allow efficient drive to both areas. The spinning mill contained 30,000 spindles and the weaving shed had 600 looms. It is listed Grade II but the weaving shed has seen significant recent demolition.
