Welcome to Rawsons Mill, Halifax
Originally a mill built between 1825 and 1828 for James Ackroyd, it was acquired by the Rawson family in 1836. It was one of the largest in Halifax and was the first in the country to be built with an iron-frame and stone floors to support machinery, falling into disuse into around 2002.
Project Highlights
The site includes 16 renovated Grade II listed mills and landscaped open spaces.
The latter project aims to deliver improved pedestrian routes, public art installations, new greener spaces around George Street, and modernisation work to two iconic buildings: the Borough Market and the Victoria Theatre.
To revitalise Halifax’s high streets, the construction of a new multi-million-pound swimming pool and leisure centre, and a £11.7 million scheme has been started.
