Is it known who was the owner of the mill? I'm looking into my family history. Hannah Lumb was the name of my third great grandmother and she lived in Sowerby Bridge and was married to Samuel Morley, who I know had a worsted mill.

I would also be interested in the names of the owners tho throughout its use, as I believe we have a family connection to the owner circa 1880-1895.
