This picture is slightly earlier than Dr Neil Clifton's Image and shows the mill building on the right before demolition was too far advanced. The mill building across the road was listed and retained but mysteriously collapsed one morning and was subsequently swept away. It was the demolition of Sunnybank Mills that spurred Jack Ramsay to write his excellent book "Made in Huddersfield". I took several shots on this day and will be posting more.
