This former weaving mill is now home to a brewery, the Bowland Beer Hall, a food hall, bakery and gelateria and will soon be hosting a hotel. It is a successful reuse of a textile mill that was working into the 21st century and was packed on a Saturday evening. The mill's 1910 built steam engine survives in a dining area but conservation needs to be addressed as it looks a bit 'rough'. Plenty of craft beers to choose and food was acceptable in my opinion.
