Dist:0.3km<br/>The Bank Top Mill was built in 1875. When I took the photograph it was owned by Newroyds. The low buildings in front of the Bank Top are on the site of the Clarksfield Mill. Wellyhole Street, a former Roman road, runs up the centre of the photograph. The Windsor Mill, formerly the Egyptian Mill built about 1836, is across Wellyhole St from the Bank Top. It ended its days as a warehouse for Newroyds. Houses now stand on the sites of all three mills.
