Armley Mills Industrial Museum

The Armley Mills Industrial Museum was a working cloth mill until 1969 when the City Council turned it into an award-winning industrial museum. Exhibits trace the history of textiles, clothing and locomotive manufacture in Yorkshire. Particularly interesting is a section devoted to the 1920s silent movie projectors, operating water wheels and the huge spinning mules that were in use in the 18th and 19th centuries.
