The mill was enlarged by the Spencer family and was used for cotton spinning, weaving, calendaring and printing. The weaving shed was used as an engineering works by 1904 and in the first world war shells were produced. By 1919 the works was owned by the Barnsley Canister Company. The building was demolished in 1992 (ASWYAS 2000). The site is shown as scrub land on 2002 aerial photographs.
