Abstract: |
In September 2007 ARCUS were commissioned by Moreton Deakin Associates to undertake a scheme of archaeological survey and recording of the fragmentary remains of the former Mytholm Mill, King Street, Mytholm, West Yorkshire (centred on NGR: SD 9829 2733). The recording was undertaken to meet the terms of an archaeological condition placed an application for demolition and re-developemtent. This report incorporates 2 phases of recording on the site, initially undertaken in April 2005. The site of the former mill was approximately 2.2 hectares, with a level ground surface in the southern two-thirds, and the northern third steeply rising in a south-facing slope. Built into the slope were two reservoirs, possible tender fields or gardens, and at its foot: a series of upstanding fragments of masonry relating to a late 18th/early 19th-century textile mill. The largest structural elements represented the remnants of a three-storey wheel house, and warehouse. The remaining fragments of building were of little significance by themselves, although their survey proved valuable in interpreting their phasing and function. A significant amount of the infrastructure relating to water management system survived, and represented an important aspect of the history and character of the site. |
