About Thwaite Mills

The Thwaite Mills is an industrial museum which is located in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.

It is a fully restored working water-powered mill built in 1823-25, harnessing the power of the River Aire."It is administered by Leeds City Council.

The waterwheels and weir burst stopped turning in January 1975

. In 1976 the Thwaite Mills Society was formed by volunteers to preserve and restore this important site, and they also received some financial support from the then West Yorkshire County Council.

The river weir was rebuilt, and the museum opened in 1990. The Thwaite Mills claims to be "one of the best last remaining examples of a water-powered mill in Britain.
