These buildings are fully described in three entries in the imagesofengland site, but when searching be aware that the buildings have been incorrectly described as being in Linthwaite, which of course is on the south side of the river. On the right the 'East Block' is an early 19C warehouse and workshop range. In the south elevation, to the mill yard, there are taking-in doors in the centre of the two upper floors. The east gable, shown on Alan Longbottom's monochrome photograph, have mullioned windows altered to form loading doors to each storey. The 'West Block' in the centre of the view was an earlier fulling and scribbling mill, built by John Shaw c.1800. It has an opening for the mill race on the far side. The water-wheel was replaced by an 85hp. Gunther & Son water turbine in 1920. The smaller building in front housed the offices and a workshop.

Named after the infamous ship: now being converted into environmentally-friendly apartments.

Looking west along the Huddersfield Narrow Canal at Low Westwood, Linthwaite. Westwood Mill is the oldest woollen mill in the Colne Valley.

Presumably for Titanic Mills, which are on the other side of the road. There is a gap between the concrete wall and the embankment, and water spilling over the wall would pass through a culvert to the River Colne. The embankment carries a private driveway to Westwood Mills.

Looking east towards Colne Valley Business Park.

Across the Colne Valley.

I couldn't remember what this was and I've had Humphrey Bolton traipsing the countryside on my behalf. He's found it - Image - but what a difference. The pond is drained and full of weeds, the chimneys have gone from the background and tree growth has nearly obscured the buildings in the background. A first class job by Humphrey - he's salvaged my dodgy photos three times now. The view is from the canal towpath looking towards the A62/Manchester Road.
