Bee Hive Mills :: Shared Description
A classic example of a two-mill site, where a second mill has been added to augment the original as trade expanded. The original mill became No.1, with the new mill becoming No.2.
The mills were operated by the Bee Hive Spinning Co Ltd, which seems to have retained its independence of other groupings until the mills closed around 1960. They are now used as a mail order warehousing and distribution centre.
The mills were Listed Grade II in 1996 and are currently in good order.
