Mills on Britannia Road and the Golcar Aqueduct
The foreground bridge is the Golcar Aqueduct carrying the Huddersfield Narrow Canal over the Colne (this being the Colne Valley). The background mills are clearly the same as in Humphrey Bolton's Image photograph but with less trees.

Transformer building, Britannia Road, Golcar
This appears to serve Stanley Mills. Possibly the wall continued to the right, with an arched entrance to the mills.

Ventilator, Britannia Road, Golcar
Several of these ventilators have a 'cockscomb' on the top, which might be part of a mechanism for moving a disc to partially close the vent opening. However it seems now to be purely decorative.

Britannia Trading Estate in Golcar
I'm nearly sure that this cluster of buildings is part of what used to be Holme Mills in Golcar, so I'm open to correction. Industrial scenes like this are priceless.

Mill buildings, Britannia Road, Golcar
These are part of the Britannia Mills Trading Estate. The building on the left looks like the offices of the mills, and is dated 1897. It has the type of ventilator used for meeting rooms at that time. Presumably the board of directors all smoked pipes or cigars during meetings! To the right of it is some kind of workshop, with large ventilators on the roof and a 'taking-in' door to the first floor.

Britannia Mills Trading Estate, Britannia Road, Golcar
These are the survivors; my mid-20C 6in map shows another building in the foreground and a big block on the right. The days of vast textile mill complexes have gone, and the lucky ones are used as trading estates

Mysterious brick building, Britannia Road, Golcar
What was this for? I have been informed that it was a bomb shelter. I can guess some of its present uses!

Recycling, Britannia Road, Golcar
My interpretation of this scene is that demolition and excavated material is dumped in the central pile and sorted into good pieces of stone on the right and crushed to make aggregate on the left. In the foreground is a line of tree-trunks, and out-of sight to the left a pile of logs, presumably for firewood. This area was previously covered in mill buildings, probably weaving sheds.
