Images from an investigation at Armley Mills

Sunday 13th December 2015

 

 

Armley Mills is now home to the Leeds Industrial Museum

 

 

 

The Mills date back to the sixteenth Century

 

 

 

A fire destroyed the original building

 

 

 

after it was bought by Benjamin Gott (1762-1840)

 

 

 

It was re-built in 1805

 

 

 

and was the world's largest woollen mill.

 

 

 

The Mills are Grade II listed

 

 

 

and it closed in 1969

 

 

 

It opened as a museum in 1982

 

 

 

The dark corridors are said to be haunted

 

 

 

Ghosts of children have been seen and heard

 

 

 

The Mills are situated on a bank of the River Aire

 

 

 

and very near to the Leeds and Liverpool canal

and their team recently investigated there

 

 

 

The machine rooms were eerily quiet

 

 

 

and nobody else was about

 

 

 

There was a feeling of sadness

 

 

 

as many lives would have been lost in the past

 

 

 

Now silence

 

 

 

where the deafening noise of machines

 

 

 

once affected everyone who worked there

 

 

 

The ghosts were not forthcoming

 

 

 

but their silent presence was undeniable!
