Visited with SS and BA :)

Some history Dug up from the depths of the web
Alfred Illingworth (September 1827–1907), was an English worsted spinner and born in Bradford, Yorkshire, the son of Daniel Illingworth and his wife Elizabeth Hill; he entered the family worsted spinning business at the age of 16 and in 1865, with his brother Henry, he established the Whetley Mills, one of the largest factories in Bradford. He was elected MP for Knaresborough in 1868. He was then elected at Bradford in 1880.

It's a pond thingy, got a half working fountain in the middle. Don't know if it's original or been done as part of the conversion? :)
