Reins Mill, Honley, Huddersfield. October 2013
This was a cute little mill that I decided to visit a while ago on a sunny afternoon. Not much found in the way of history, but after a nice stroll around the vicinity, the area would appear to have been “Mill Territory†at one time… Honley being described as a pennine textile village… with quite a few mills dotted around here on the Yorkshire industrial heritage map. Cloth making has been a staple activity in Honley since the 11th Century, advantage being taken of the many springs of clean water in the neighbourhood.
