My thanks for this. I have had a look at Mike Rothwell's book on Church & Ossie's industrial heritage. He calls it Tomknitter Bridge Bleachworks and sites it in Ossie. It was associated with Foxhill Bank Printworks from 1822. The works may well have been started earlier by Peel, Yates & co. . Bleaching was introduced in 1884 but ended in 1887. the site was sold to Steiner.. He says that Tinker Brook runs under the buildings and the arched, stone culvert remains (1993) Map ref SD 739 288
