The Hunslet Mill and Victoria Works Complex is a series of very large disused mill buildings in Goodman Street in Leeds.
History
Hunslet Mill was constructed by William Fairbairn for John Wilkinson and completed circa 1842.[1] By 1847 some 1,500 female staff were employed in the mill reeling flax.[1] It was occupied by a firm of linen manufacturers called Richard Buckton and Son[2] from 1868[3] and then by a firm of blanket weavers called Dodgson and Hargreaves from the mid-1920s[4] until it closed in 1966.[5][6]
Victoria Works was constructed for W B Holdsworth and was completed in 1838.[1] It was occupied by a tailoring company called Botterill & Senior from the 1930s[4] and later was owned by a firm of ironmongers called R H Bruce[7] before they moved out in the early 1970s.[8]
The complex, which had been derelict ever since, was purchased by developers Evans Property Group and Caddick Developments. However these development plans ultimately failed to commence,[9] meaning that the complex remained derelict until the current developers, JM Construction, bought the site in the mid 2010s.[10]
As of 2017, construction started to redevelop the mill complex. The development, which is called Victoria Riverside,[11] is scheduled for completion by the end of 2023.[12]
