Built in 1881 Stephenson Brothers Dry Salters were responsible for making dyes and colourings which would have been in demand by the neighbouring textile mills across Bradford and the rest of the north.
They also manufactured soaps, polishes and lubricating oils :shock:  , that would have been used across the city and beyond.​

 ​

 ​

After a walk around at Malham Cove with @Fatpanda we decided to pop in this place on the way home before it spontaneously combusted like most of the other mills in bradford. it was the first time in a while visiting a needle infested crackhead grotto instead of the massive industrial site's we have been spoiled by last year, it was nice not creeping around corners and getting ready to leg it at any minute! anyway enough babbling on with the pictures  :-D​

As soon as we squeezed through the access we were greeted by the crackhead grotto! ​

I always thought this staircase was in Dalton Mills in Keighley for some reason, it was nice to finally see it even though I couldn't get a good shot of it! ​
