Westwood Mill
Westwood Mill, near Linthwaite, looking east. This listed building is believed to be the earliest surviving woollen mill in the Colne Valley and shows different phases of construction over a long period.

The earliest part of the building was a scribbling mill, facing the mill pond (right), built in 1798 while the canal itself was being built.
