Memories of the Mill - A documentary about Northern England's industrial past.
This is a newly upscaled version of our award winning 2004 documentary film "Memories of the Mill". Frank Brook worked for Learoyd Brothers, a fine worsted woollen mill in Huddersfield until the 1970s. His Grandson, John Isles wanted to make a record of Frank's working life to preserve for future generations. The woollen industry has now passed and Learoyd's old mill now stands as a retail showroom so John and Frank also take a journey to Queen Street Mill in Burnley, the last steam powered mill in the world, exploring a time now gone by.
