Former textile mills and chimney, Huddersfield
I did part of my growing up on this street in the shadow of the mills. This is now all part of Huddersfield University. Firth Street Mills is closest with Larchfield Mills beyond.

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.

This magnificent Yorkshire woollen mill landscape is now all part of the University of Huddersfield. This was the sort of landscape I grew up in.
