This is Stonebridge Mills and Engine House in Leeds, it doesn't look much from the road and I have driven past it many hundreds of times without really taking any notice.

Recently though, both Converse and Dweeb have visited with spectacular results, both are better photographers than me so you need to see their stuff to really get the best of this place. I have to say thanks to Converse for all the information on the building.

It's a lovely place, but full of asbestos so be sure to take a mask if you visit. The place dates right back to C1800 and when you are there, it sure feels like it.

It's Grade 2 listed and you can read more about it on this link.
