Part of the Helmshore Mills Textile Museum, this is Whitaker's Mill, housing a cotton carding and spinning operation which closed in 1978. The carding machines and spinning mules are still in working order and provide an impressive display, giving the visitor a vivid idea of what it must have been like to have been a mill worker.
