Lister Mills

Beautiful historic building of the late 1800s producing the majority of Europe’s silk, the chimney stands at an impressive 250ft at was built out of 8100 tonnes of Yorkshire Sanstone. There is a myth that says you can drive a horse and carriage around the top of the chimney...well unless your Ken and Barbie I wouldn’t!.

The name is more like lister Park bit like a old factory but it's a buetyfull building

Lister's Mill (otherwise known as Manningham Mills) was the largest silk factory in the world.It is located in the Manningham district of Bradford, West Yorkshire, England and was built by Samuel Cunliffe Lister to replace the original Manningham Mills that were destroyed by fire in 1871. The mill is a Grade II  listed building, built in the Italianate style of Victorian architecture. At its height, Lister's employed 11,000 men, women and children – manufacturing high-quality textiles such as velvet and silk. It supplied 1,000 yards (910 m) of velvet for King George V's coronation and in 1976 new velvet curtains for the President Ford White House. The 1890–91 strike at the mill was important in the establishment of the Independent Labour Party which later helped found the modern-day Labour Party. On completion in 1873, Lister's Mill was the largest textile mill in North England. Floor space in the mill amounts to 27 acres (109,000 m²), and its imposing shape remains a dominant feature of the Bradford skyline.The chimney of the mill is 249 feet (76 m) high, and can be seen from most areas of Bradford. It cost about £10,000 to build, and its total weight has been estimated at 8,000 long tons (8,100 t). Samuel Lister called it Lister's Pride."[3]Until the arrival of electric power in 1934

Been living at Silk Warehouse for 6 years, It was quiet when we first moved. After 3 years of staying here, the place started to change for the worse! The entrance to the apartment is broken most of the time. Intercom now calls your mobile if someone wants to get in which is annoying if you are out and your family is inside waiting for a delivery. If you have a car, do NOT park it on the street, people will scratch or break your car! A lot of sketchy people around at night and plays loud music even after midnight. I would not recommend Silk Warehouse to anyone. You can try living at Velvet Mills, but I would not live around this place.

You are using someone's personal mobile number on here person has nothing to do with your company so please remove that number

a historical monument and a magnificent symbol of the industrial age
