Former mill is creative powerhouse

The mills, situated in Town Street in the centre of Farsley, West Yorkshire, ceased textile production in 2008, and are being transformed into a modern 21st century business centre for small and medium-sized businesses in West Yorkshire. The new tenants are Powerhouse Digital Photography, travel agents Uncover The World, Yorkshire Physiotherapy Network and Richard Moran Photography. They have taken a combined total of more than 11,000 sq ft of office space.

John Gaunt, co-director of Edwin Woodhouse, the owners of Sunny Bank Mills, said: "I think the pedigree of business reflects the quality of the refurbishments being undertaken and that even in the teeth of recession, Sunny Bank Mills and Farsley can succeed in its mission of being a creative space for business."
