Racecommon Road : West : Shaw Mill (view 1)
Several industrial buildings located along Racecommon Road, close to Townend. Shaw Mill was the most prominent, established in the 1840s by Newton & Piggott when the Barnsley linen trade was still prominent. Its name plaque was proudly displayed at the centre of the upper gable. Part of the building was subsequently converted into the aptly named Shaw Mill Garage. This image dates from about 1975.
