This was a corn, rather than textile mill, and the widening of the canal suggests that goods were received and/or dispatched by boat. See Image for a different angle. The mill is not listed, but the road bridge over the Huddersfield Broad Canal is (grade II, entry 1221204). At first glance it looks modern but that is because the original stone arch has been widened on both sides by unsympathetic concrete extensions.
