Industrial Buildings
Marked as mills on the OS maps, I think this may be a forge of some kind.

Strong Close Ironworks, Keighley
This was one of several factories operated by Messrs Prince Smith, later Prince Smith Stells. They were primarily textile machinery manufacturers and this ironworks was built on a greenfield site in about 1912.
The view shows two buildings that look like engine houses side by side. My contact Geoff Shackleton tells me that the company bought a horizontal tandem compound engine from Cole, Marchent and Morley of Bradford in 1910 for Strong Close Ironworks. In 1924 the same maker supplied a uniflow engine with a 31" x 30" cylinder driving a 500 kW, 230 V DC generator. It is not stated whether the later engine replaced the earlier one or supplemented it. I suspect the latter.

Dalton Mills, Keighley
Part of the complex has been cleaned up and made ready for multiple occupancy. A large part remains empty but is apparently about to be adaptively re-used. The chimney is truncated but remains an architectural masterpiece. The cleaned building at its base is almost certainly the house for the large Wm Bracewell beam engine that destroyed itself in 1904.
