Millstones

The Calder Valley in West Yorkshire is scattered with 19th-century textile mills - vast, magnificent, and mostly redundant. 'People take trips to Egypt to see the pyramids, to Greece to see temples, physical remains of great cultural leaps forward in the history of mankind. The greatest leap that's ever been taken by mankind was the Industrial Revolution. Where did it begin? It began here in the north of England. The pyramids were once quarried for their stone, the temples in Greece were demolished. The mills of the Pennines are suffering a similar fate today. We hope to stop it.'
