Originally a worsted mill built between 1825 and 1828 for James Ackroyd, it was acquired by the Rawson family in 1836
The mill was one of the largest in Halifax and was the first in the country to be built with an iron-frame and stone floors to support machinery, falling into disuse into around 2002.
A number of planning and listed building consent applications were made in the first decade of the 21st century for the conversion of the mill and boiler house to residential use with the most recent, granted in 2008, for the conversion of the mill into 29 apartments, office space and a heritage centre, along with the construction of 43 new dwellings and 12 apartments, has not been implemented.
Given the long history of the mill buildings being empty, Historic England’s comments are broadly supportive, says the statement. “The works to adapt the buildings will have a limited impact upon the external fabric of the building although the introduction of non-traditional material in the form of uPVC windows will give rise to a degree of harm.
