The Old Corn Mill is a historic building in Bradley, North Yorkshire, a village in England. A watermill was first recorded in Bradley in 1314, although it is unknown whether this was on the site of the current mill. The current building is 18th century, and is depicted on a map of 1791. It was heightened, probably in the 19th century. The mill operated until about 1900, after which the ground floor was converted into a cattle shed. By the 1930s the mill's two ponds had been filled in. The building was Grade II listed in 1966, and in 2010, it was converted for residential use. The two-storey building is constructed of millstone grit, with quoins, and roofs of stone slabs. The main block has five bays, with a two-bay extension to the northeast, an enclosed wheelhouse, and a later extension to the southeast. The openings include doorways, windows, one of which has three lights and mullions, cart entries and vents.

Horace Mills, Cononley
Horace Mills, Cononley

Horace Mills is a former textile mill in Cononley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. In 1837, two separately owned textile mills were built close together and in parallel, by the River Aire. They became known as the High Mill and Low Mill. The Low Mill was divided into two sections, each undertaking weaving, while the High Mill was a single operation, and undertook both spinning and weaving. The 1841 census recorded that around 500 people, three-quarters of the Cononley workforce, were working in the textile industry. From 1852, the two mills were under common ownership, although Low Mill was later demolished. In 1866, a further mill, the Aireside or New Mill, was constructed on the other side of the Aire, and in 1880, this mill was purchased by the owner of the High Mill, which later became known as Station Mill. Despite these changes, by 1881, the proportion of textile workers had declined to under one half of those employed in Cononley. In 1905, Station Mill was purchased by Peter Green & Co, which continued to produce textiles. In 1910, it partly rebuilt the mill, adding a fourth floor, and possibly reconstructing the north wall, with larger windows. The southern part of the mill was given over to the production of motors, under the direction of Peter Green's son, Horace. The site was steadily expanded over the following decades, and during World War II, it produced high frequency alternators for ADSIC. The company closed in 1997. Meanwhile, the larger part of the Aireside Mill was destroyed in a fire in 1992, the remaining single-storey section becoming an business park. Following the closure of Peter Green, Station Mill stood derelict for several years. It was later converted into apartments by Candelisa, and renamed "Horace Mill". The building retains its bellcote and Venetian window.

Cononley Hall
Cononley Hall

Cononley Hall is a historic building in Cononley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Cononley Hall was first recorded in the 1540s, at which point it appears to have been a farmhouse. In about 1600, it was rebuilt as a manor house, part of which survives. By 1680, it was the home of the Swire family. In about 1770, the building was partly demolished and a large new extension was constructed. In the early 19th century, the Swires let out the hall, which served for periods as a boarding school. The Swire family sold the hall in 1837, and the building had a variety of owners until 1911, when it was divided into three properties. It has since been recombined, and operates as a bed and breakfast. It has been Grade II listed since 1954. The house is built of stone with quoins and stone slate roofs. The original part has coped gables and kneelers. It has three storeys, and the windows have chamfered surrounds and hood moulds. Most are replacements, but two windows have transoms. The later part has a hipped roof, a modillion cornice, three storeys and three bays. The windows are sashes in architraves. There is a Tuscan doorcase with engaged columns, a pediment and an arched doorway. The return has five bays, the central window of the middle floor with a pediment on consoles. In the wall is a re-set initialled and dated lintel. Inside, there is an early fireplace, and a staircase contemporary with the late-18th century extension.
