BANK MILLS

This magnificent waterside flax mill
and its twin block just upstream
were built in 1831-2 for
Messrs Hives and Atkinson,
former partners of John Marshall
the famous Leeds flax spinner.

Architect: John Clark

The rear of the building is on the bank of the Aire and Calder Navigation that allowed the loading of goods onto canal barges. From here the barges could tracel east to the port of Goole. Alternatively barges could travel westwards joining the Leeds Liverpool Canal to the port of Liverpool.

After being unused for a number of years recent renovations have converted the building into a number of office units. The two buildings are now called Rose Wharf,
