Sunnybank Mills, Longwood
This picture is slightly earlier than Dr Neil Clifton's Image and shows the mill building on the right before demolition was too far advanced. The mill building across the road was listed and retained but mysteriously collapsed one morning and was subsequently swept away. It was the demolition of Sunnybank Mills that spurred Jack Ramsay to write his excellent book "Made in Huddersfield".
I took several shots on this day and will be posting more.

Derelict woollen mill, Longwood, near Huddersfield
This was Sunnybank Mill, owned by C. and J. Hirst. The road which is bridged over by the building is the bottom end of Grove Street: and the road coming down from the left at the extreme left end of the mill is Benn Lane. It appears that the mill was listed, but the arched part collapsed spontaneously so the whole structure was demolished. I am indebted to Chris Allen for this information.
Further information from Conrad Diamond informs me that the collapse was actually caused by a skip-wagon hitting the arch.

Prospect Road, Longwood
This road was made along the hillside in the 19C and lined with terrace houses for the workers in the nearby mills. Today only a few blocks remain, like the back-to-backs on the right, and terraces of three-storey town houses have been built instead. Longwood Church is in the distance.
