MEMORY LANE: Proud history of a now-derelict Keighley cotton mill
STANDING a forlorn and roofless shell on the edge of Gresley Road is Low Mill. Apart from the war memorial, it is Keighley’s only Grade II* listed building. Throughout the country only six per cent of listed buildings are Grade II* listed and those that fall into this category do so because they are “particularly important buildings of more than special interest” and as such warrant every effort to preserve them. Much abused and neglected over the past 30 years, Low Mill was the very first cotton mill to be built in Yorkshire at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.
