Birdsedge Mill...

...owned by Zachariah Hinchcliffe and Co...

From their current website:
We now have 5 sites within the UK and a sales office in Italy to meet the increasing demands for our quality yarns. We pride ourselves in being an important supplier of lambswool, cashmere, camel hair and angora products; both to the UK and worldwide knitwear industries. We strive to always use the latest technological developments and continually invest in the latest state of the art machinery to maintain and improve the Hinchliffe quality for which we are renowned.

The mill pictured in the blip is now largely disused - the local mill in Denby Dale uses the buildings for storage, I think. The mill pond would have been important for driving the machinery at one point, and as a source of water when dyeing the cloth. 
An old fashioned industrial Wide Wednesday - Thanks Bob!
