Armley Mills Industrial Museum, Industrial museum in Armley, Leeds, England.

The Leeds Industrial Museum occupies a large mill complex with exhibitions about textile machinery, railway equipment, and manufacturing processes across multiple floors.

Benjamin Gott constructed the current building in 1805 as a woollen mill, which operated until 1969 before Leeds City Council transformed it into a museum.

The textile gallery demonstrates the complete wool manufacturing process, from raw material to finished cloth, representing Leeds' industrial manufacturing heritage.

The museum opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, with guided tours available throughout the day.

The collection includes the oldest model locomotive in existence, built by Matthew Murray in 1811 as a prototype for the Salamanca railway engine.
