HFF Halifax West Yorkshire 2nd September 2017

In this view northwards it took some cropping to remove the high 1970s bridge and leave the buildings and chimneys of Dean Clough Mills to stand alone. Built in the 1840s–60s for Crossley's Carpets & once one of the world's largest carpet factories the mill closed in 1983 & was bought by a consortium to develop the Grade II listed site for various commercial and cultural uses. This included returning the Millstone Grit stonework to its former beauty.

In the foreground is the parapet of the Victorian cast & wrought-iron North Bridge which spans the Hebble Valley. As well as the river Hebble extensive railway yards were once located in the valley and in fact the Halifax & Ovenden Railway jointly with Halifax Corporation financed the construction of North Bridge which was completed in 1871. Until 1960 the former HOR North Bridge station was located beneath the bridge to the right.

HFF to everyone. Have a great weeked.
