This is the face of the 'E' Mill at Dean Clough which was built in 1857. Dean Clough Mills in Halifax are a group of large factory buildings built in the 1840s - 60s for Crossley's Carpets, becoming one of the world's largest carpet factories. After years of declining production it closed in 1983, when it was bought by a consortium led by Sir Ernest Hall which developed the Grade II listed site for various commercial and cultural uses. It is now seen as a leading example of successful urban regeneration. The converted mills now house about 150 large and small businesses and arts venues.
