This is the south complex of Manningham Mills - sometimes referred to as Lister's Mill. Once the largest producer of silk in the world, not to mention it's manufacture of velvet, finally closed its doors in the early 1990s - and is now being converted into residences, business units and a community centre. The magnificent chimney can be seen from all over Bradford and beyond - rumour had it that the rim at the top was wide enough to take a coach and horses. Now a listed building. http://www.manninghammasterplan.co.uk/p-lister-mill.php
