Calvert's Mill, Halifax, West Yorks
« on: Saturday 13 March 10 10:03 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for any information about this former mill in Illingworth, Halifax.  Anyone knowing the area will know that Morrisons is now built on the site.  I would like to find out about the mill itself or where I could go to research it...thanks

Hi,

I am really not sure if this is the right mill but there is some information on this link about the history of I & I Calvert, Wainstalls Mills, Halifax.  If it is the right place there is a document on the link with the history of the company and the buildings together with some pictures.

Hi
You could see if Calderdale Archives have any information
http://www.calderdale.gov.uk/leisure/localhistory/local-studies/resources.html

and this is an excellent site with a little bit of information on the mill owner/tenants.

Thanks for the links re Calvert's Mills.  The Calvert family obviously had several mills but hopefully I'll be able to find more info on the one I want.
