Former Holyrood Lace Mill
Now council offices. This mill manufactured plain net from 1829 to 1964. The mill owner for many years was Col J W Gifford, astronomer and pioneer in X-ray photography. I think this mill was home to an early single cylinder beam engine that is now preserved in America.

Former lace mill workshops, Chard
This building was rebuilt in about 1905 and provided and maintained machinery and bobbins for the Holyrood lace mill that is behind the photographer. It has now been converted to town houses (seen here), shops and a café. This elevation clearly shows the outline of a north light roof, although it has been rebuilt.
