WW1 deanclough mills

I FOUND SOME FACTS ABOUT THE MILL COMPLEX I DID NOT KNOW WHILE RESEARCHING FOR MY IMAGE
In 1864, John Crossley and Sons was formed into a joint stock company, one of the first in the country to take advantage of the Limited Liability Company legislation passed in 1862. By 1900, the employees numbered 5,000. Carpet production did not stop immediately, if at all, during the 1914-1918 war. Equipment was switched to produce webbing, blankets, and khaki yarn and machine shops turned over to shell production.i have turned my image black and white .this image of a now unused part of the mill complex looks like it hasnt change from that time in history
