Thomas Lloyd rebuilt Armley Mills and leased it to Israel Burrows and Christopher Hill; by 1793 Israel and his brother John occupied the houses and used part of the premises for their own weaving business. Although now in an isolated part of the site the houses originally stood on the main path into the mill from the river ford just downstream. In the early C20 the warehouse was of 3 storeys and extended further west.
