Priestroyd Mill, Huddersfield
There is an excellent photograph of this mill in Satanic Mills - Industrial Architecture in the Pennines, published by SAVE Britain's Heritage (not dated but c1980 at a guess) that shows a tall corner tower. This was truncated following a fire in 1977. There are also two chimneys visible and they have also gone. I would recommend Satanic Mills and Through the Mill as two books for those interested in Yorkshire (and Lancashire) textiles.
The tower has now been rebuilt - see Image

The former Priestroyd Mills, Huddersfield
This magnificent building with a datestone of 1869 was actually part of Priestroyd Ironworks and provided machine parts for the mills rather than itself being a woollen mill. It lost the top of its hotel de ville tower in a fire in the 1970s but it has now been restored to its former glory. When I was growing up in Huddersfield in the 1970s every building was black due to the air pollution. It is now hard to appreciate this when most buildings have been cleaned. This building is most probably now associated with the university.
