Well that CD rom will be of no use to you,probably best at the local studies department at Leeds central library,apaet from maps there may be loads of stuff on the area in general and possibly on the mill itself.

cnosni,Thanks for the info about the CD. It might not be of use re Castleton Mills, but it will still be of great interest! I have an ancestor who lived in the street (street name slips my mind) which ran parallel to the Headrow in front of the art gallery, now the square where the war memorial is.There's a pic on Leodis.I have the original deeds for a piece of land near Castleton Mills and it would be nice to know more about how the area developed.Thanks again,Si

His web address is:www.alangodfreymaps.co.ukI have bought hard copies of Guiseley and Yeadon from Mouncey's in Otley. I'm not sure about e-access though.For reference, the Horsforth one for1906 is 202.11There are lots of different ones available, including Woodside, Meanwood, Kirkstall, Roundhay Park and so on.If you want a particular reference, get back to me as I have the Yeadon one in front of me and it has all the others listed on the back.The maps also have lots of information on the reverse including population statistics from the appropriate census. They are a good read. I cant remember how much it cost but they aren't dear.Hope this helps Thank you Daleshelms and LS1 , Godfrey site well worth browsing .

If you look on the corner of the library now the old street sign is still there with Centenary Street there.
