The mill was founded by John Taylor in 1827, but most buildings on the site dated from c.1873 (the company by then being Taylor and Littlewood). The site once occupied about a hectare on this west side of the road, along with ancillary buildings and a pair of mill ponds the other side. The mill was listed grade II in 1978 but closed in 1983, and the site was sold in 2006 (from listing description, ref. 1232037). Most of the buildings were still standing when photographed for this site in 2010 Image but were severely damaged by a fire on 17 November 2016. Following works in 2019 to make the site safe, only the ground floor walls of one section of the building remain, along with the clock tower Image and entrance arch Image https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/fire-gutted-newsome-mills-site-15733756 The site is earmarked for housing but no development has been started yet.
