Lister Mills, Grade II* listed mill building in Bradford, England.

The red brick structure features large arched windows, a prominent clock tower, and a 249-foot chimney called Listers Pride dominating the Bradford skyline.

Samuel Cunliffe Lister commissioned the building in 1871 after the original Manningham Mills burned down, creating what became the largest silk factory worldwide.

The mill supplied velvet for King George V's coronation and produced curtains for The White House, reflecting its status in textile manufacturing.

Following renovation efforts in 2006, the complex houses 131 residential units and commercial spaces while maintaining original architectural elements.

During World War II, the mill manufactured 1,330 miles of parachute silk and 284 miles of flame-proof wool for military purposes.
