Old Town Mill, a landmark building high above Hebden Bridge is to be redeveloped by a Yorkshire based company, Clay Developments providing new homes, communal spaces, cafe and offices. The mill setting is striking, with some of the most impressive views over the Calder Valley and the chimney itself a significant landmark on the landscape. Securing active and sustainable futures for West Yorkshire’s vacant and underused textile mills is critical to sustaining the character of these important symbols of the county’s industrial heritage. The complex series of buildings are to be re-imagined to provide 25 homes, family-centred places and spaces and additional amenities with full support of Historic England. The proposal aims to embrace this context and strengthen the arrangement of buildings by considering shelter, views, light and landscape. The proposal reveals and repairs the good quality listed architecture and strengthens the historic reading of the existing buildings by introducing high-quality design and new-build elements that continues the story of development, innovation and contemporary re-use. Phase One is now complete with new terrace housing and work underway to the Carding Mill, which forms part of Phase Two.
