Sunny Bank Mills wove worsted cloth in Farsley for some 180 years. When the looms stopped in 2008, the mills did not fall derelict — they filled with artists, makers, shops and a café instead.
Today the complex holds galleries (including the 1872 Gallery), a haberdashery and craft shops in the old weaving sheds, and one of the best-preserved mill yards in Yorkshire. A working example of what to do with an industrial past.
