Steeton, West Yorkshire - Bobbin Mill 2003: My first ever explore!! Before I knew what UE was!
This place is now Flats and demolished for houses, Google Maps sucks at the moment, so here is the Flash Earth.

I couldn't find that much info on this place, but interestingly while I was searching I found a picture of my granddad during the war (due to my mum writing up his life story on the BBC People War website) http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/07/a1103707.shtml Looks like this place was my granddads first job at the age of 14!
here's the shots, more on Flickr if you are bothered - http://www.flickr.com/photos/pdtnc/sets/72157611791014133/

The 2 shots below are apparently where the Water wheel was, it was a tall deep dark hole of a room, I expect the wheel its self would have been huge:
