Tonedale Mills, Industrial textile mill complex in Wellington, England
Description
Tonedale Mills is a complex of brick buildings from different periods in Wellington. The structures show the layout and scale of a major textile production site with spaces for machinery, storage, and processing.
History
The complex began as a textile production site in the mid-18th century. Over time, buildings were expanded and technical systems updated to keep pace with industrial demands.
Culture
The mills shaped Wellington's identity as a textile town for generations. Visitors can see how central this factory was to the town's economic and social life.
