Grounds
Harle Syke became one of the most important weaving villages in Victorian Lancashire and is now a conservation area displaying industrial architecture which has seen little change in the last 100 years.
In the grounds of the Mill is the chimney, which stands 120 feet high, and the Mill pond or lodge, which is fed by rainwater collected in the gutters and piped through downspouts from the mill roof.
To the side of the lodge is a small stable building made of brick and stone which would have housed the Mills' four horses until motorised transport was purchased in 1926. It is unusual for stable blocks to be found intact, as they were often demolished or converted into garages.
