Holbeck's Temple Mill at risk of further collapse
Beeston Today (Vicki Robinson)
A historic Holbeck mill needs hundreds of thousands of pounds spent on it to safeguard even its short-term future, it has emerged.
Part of Temple Mill – modelled on the Egyptian Temple of Edfu – collapsed in December, sending debris from the grade one-listed building showering into the street in Holbeck.
Scaffolding was immediately set up to try to prevent further damage and further props are to be erected within the next fortnight.
But English Heritage bosses say major works will be required to stop the 170-year-old mill from collapsing completely.
As it is today . . .
And as it was - with thanks to Bob Partridge
