Beschreibung
Highly illustrated, the book celebrates renovation of textile mills in the North of England. Case studies from interviews with those responsible for these iconic buildings give insights into how other mills may be reused.
Textile mills producing woollen, cotton and silk fabric were the backbone of the industrial revolution, and as much part of our national heritage as churches and country houses. They were responsible for placemaking in the towns and cities of Yorkshire, Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire, and are still a familiar and prominent part of the landscape of many towns. There are over 650 mills in these counties which are empty or underused, and under threat. But there are many examples of mills being renovated and repurposed for a variety of uses by inspiring people and organisations.
With case studies drawn from extensive interviews with owners, developers and users of these buildings, the book celebrates the repurposing of industrial mill buildings in the North of England. It tells the human story behind many renovations, drawing together common themes, and insights as to what determines successful renovation, and how further schemes can be developed.
