Leeds old and new Day 2: Industrial times

Just around the corner from my gym is the Armley Mills Industrial Museum.

The Grade II listed building housing the museum (in the background) was once the world's largest woollen mill. The current structures were built in 1805 by Benjamin Gott and it closed as a commercial mill in 1969. It was taken over by Leeds City Council and reopened as a museum of industrial heritage in 1982.

I liked the fact that even the wood had its own house.
