| Description | Dyeworks and Finishing facilities visited by Colum Giles in 1985 as part of the RCHME's Textile Mills Survey. No full written report on the mill buildings is on file, however a copy of his initial survey sheet suggests that, at the time of his visit, Green Lane Dye Works consists of 10 or more principal buildings of late 19th/early 20th century date. The main mill building is of three storeys, and five by five bays. Other buildings/structures include two weaving sheds, two engine houses (one attached to the dyehouse), a boiler house, two chimneys, a warehouse of two storeys, offices, short terrace, dyehouses, and other two storey ranges.
Originally the site was occupied by Green Lane Mill, built by clothier Thomas Pratt in 1868 and cloth was made here until it was rebuilt in 1907 following a fire in 1906, and was taken over by Naylor Jennings Dyers and Finishers . |
