The photographer has chosen to remove the background, giving the impression the mill is standing on the hill.

I was delighted to see this picture, as I am transcribing my Uncle Stanley Simpson's life story (he died earlier this year aged 96) and I am editing a part where he describes working at Ebor Mill after returning from WW2! I am putting his story into a little self-published booklet just for the family, and I wonder if you might give me permission to use this picture. I would be delighted to forward either a copy of his story as it stands, or the final booklet, if it may be of interest to anyone there....he had an awe-inspiring memory, and it is a fascinating social history, especially of the area around Calverley and the textile industry at the time. Thank you for considering this.
Best wishes from Australia,

I believe this mill was owned by the Merral family. My paternal grandmother was Norah Irene Merrall who died in 1953. I would be delighted to have contact with any of my Merrall relatives.

About 8:30pm on 14th August a fire started on the third floor in Ebor Mill, which soon took control and has gutted the building. Photos of the Ebor Mill fire here...
Hi there, I'm covering the story of the terrible fire at the mill and am looking for someone to talk to about the history of the building. Please contact me on 0113 2247300 if you can help or on alice.bailey@bbc.co.uk
