The buildings further to the right, dating from the 1820s and 1830s, were a textile mill, but the one shown here, now called the Spinning Block, is labelled on the 1912 map as a 'technical school'. The whole site, now a business and leisure complex taking its name from the former mill, was listed Grade II in 2013 and the listing gives a detailed history https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1413649?section=official-listing .
