This fine building, formerly a woollen mill, has been converted to apartments. Sadly, the side facing the mill pond has been spoilt by balconies. I hate balconies on former mills, with a passion. It is always debatable whether to use mill or mills but the definitive guide to Yorkshire mill lists this as Barkisland Mills and a paper by Holden explains that use of the plural was common in Yorkshire.
