Textile mills and former textile mills are seen on both sides of the river. The complex on the left is on the map as Dewsbury Mills but may encompass earlier named blocks too. The big block on the left is Anchor House. On the right with its water tank on top of the tower is Headfield Mills that is in multiple occupancy.
