There is an excellent photograph of this mill in Satanic Mills - Industrial Architecture in the Pennines, published by SAVE Britain's Heritage (not dated but c1980 at a guess) that shows a tall corner tower. This was truncated following a fire in 1977. There are also two chimneys visible and they have also gone. I would recommend Satanic Mills and Through the Mill as two books for those interested in Yorkshire (and Lancashire) textiles. The tower has now been rebuilt - see Image
