Warth Mill is surely further North, the other side of Ward Lane, between there and Sam Road?

Hutchinson, Hollingworth and Co Ltd's Dobcross Loom Works was, despite its name, actually in Diggle. It closed around 1967 and was taken over shortly afterwards by W. H. Shaw, pallet manufacturers. It closed after they went into administration in 2006. The gothic office building in the centre foreground is a Grade II listed building.

The Huddersfield Narrow Canal passes behind the loom works. The Huddersfield & manchester railway (then L N W R) runs alongside. Bothe are heading for the Stanage Tunnels. The Loom Works is still a prominent feature alongside the canal.
