Victoria Mills, Shipley:

The lead re-roofing of the Old Mill and New Mill in Shipley, formed part of a larger project to convert mill buildings into quality apartments. The use of traditional materials and methods was vital to ensure the effective restoration of this listed building. Approximately seventy tonnes of new lead was laid to the two adjacent mill buildings.

The property was originally built as a woollen mill in Shipley for Henry Mason, a senior manufacturer in the Bradford trade, in 1873.
