 Ebor
Mill is ahead. Take a 360 view

The earliest part of the mill are the buildings next to the

and were water powered. To the rear next to the tall chimney
the spinning mill was constructed in 1850 by the Merrall family.
In 1887 they built the large 5 storey Mill.
This Mill expansion is reflected in the growth of the railway network, the Keighley & Worth Valley railway was built in 1867 , many of the local mill owners such as Merrall's were directors of the railway.
