Whetley Mills, Manningham, Bradford, West Yorkshire

This illustration is taken from "The Century's Progress", published in 1893. It shows a clean and rather sanitised view of the mill, which it describes as a "model of efficiency". This is based on its output, not the conditions of the workers. Note the acres of weaving sheds to the left of the main mill buildings.
