Framing a survey of textile mills: RCHME's West Riding experience |
| |
Abstract: | AbstractLarge numbers of multi-storey textile mills have become redundant in the north of England. In 1984 the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England embarked on a survey of these mills in the former West Riding of Yorkshire. Following a pilot survey in the Worth Valley and Keighley, an initial survey identified 1400 mills and a ten per cent sample has been selected for fuller recording. This article discusses the considerations involved in defining the method and scope of the survey. |
