Photos taken from almost the same spot
Bank Mill, built in 1844, was the first power mill in Great Harwood. Cotton manufacture finally came to an end in the 1960s and the building was demolished in the early 70s.
Completed in 1974, Bank Mill House, fronting Church Street, hosts
various
meetings and events and is also the Senior Citizens Centre.
This is beside the steps to the Senior Citizens Centre above.
The rest of the site is a grassed area.
Coming over the the bank in the centre of the photo is Nap Brook the small stream that provided the steam power for the mill.
It flows for a few yards more above ground before disappearing into a culvert.
