Pendlestone Mills Also known as Fort Pendlestone. Originally there was a corn mill on the site but this is a more recent cotton mill. It was originally water powered but was later supplemented by a vertical steam engine of Yorkshire build. The late George Watkins photographed this in 1953 but it&#039;s long gone. The Mills are rather fine but squeezed in beside the road and currently fenced off. Need I say they are being adaptively reused, although it seems to have been ongoing for a couple of years. — Pendlestone Mills Credit: Chris Allen
