Mill Royd Mill Brighouse converted into up market apartments in 2004
This was the first cotton mill in Brighouse, and was built in 1857 by cousins Henry & Jonathan Stott.
The mill is 7-storeys high with 14 bays, and the frontage on to the canal is 450 ft wide.
William Booth started a cotton doubling and warp making business in a shed attached to Mill Royd Mill 1892.
It was still in use by H. Cullingworth & Sons Limited until 2001, and was popularly known as Cullingworth's Mill.
In 2003, there were proposals by Richard Binks to convert the mill into residential property with 134 apartments – to be known as Millroyd Island on account of its location between the Calder and the Calder & Hebble Navigation.
When sales opened in autumn 2003, it was claimed that 100 flats were sold in 4 hours – before work had even started. The conversion was completed in 2004.
@teiko Thank you for your comment Emilie, it would appear its location plus the high spec internal fit out an indoor swimming pool, Gym and private gated parking makes them still very sort after:)
@louannwarren Thank you for your comment Lou Ann very close to every amenity but in saying that Brighouse is only a little town, couple of minutes walk to the train station:)
It's the same in Hampshire where we live and everywhere we have travelled this week.
