Firth Street - chimney
A very fine example of the archetypal Yorkshire mill chimney with an octagonal barrel and an oversailing cap. There is appreciable batter and there are metal reinforcing rings. These buildings are now all part of the University.
The mill to the left of the chimney is Firth Street Mills , originally for cotton spinning, and beyond the chimney is Larchfield Mills - woollen.

Firth Street Mills and Larchfield Mills, Huddersfield
To the left of the chimney is the 6 storey Firth Street Mills, originally built as a cotton mill but later used by Fred Lawton & Sons Ltd for carpet yarn spinning. To the right is the 5 storey Larchfield Mills, built as a woollen mill. Both mills are now part of Huddersfield University. There was a second square chimney alongside the octagonal stone one but this was dismantled piecemeal.

Reflection on a mill
The Huddersfield Narrow Canal behind Firth Street. The mill is Firth Street Mills and is now part of the University. There is a recognisable engine house to the left. This mill was built for cotton spinning but later used by a firm of carpet yarn spinners.
