The problem with trying to find out the history of old buildings via Google is that the search engines seem to assume that all anyone is interested in is house prices. I've just spent five minutes searching for "Silver Mill Otley", "Silver Mill Otley History" and "Old Mill Otley" and all sorts of other combinations, and all I discovered was how much it would cost me to buy a flat here. So I have no idea what this mill was used for in its prime, but at a guess I'd say textiles. Nowadays it's divided into flats which command a view over Otley from the foothills of the Chevin.
