Description
The weir on the River Aire at Armley Mills is a structure that may date back to medieval times but was enlarged and rebuilt around 1788 by engineer John Sutcliffe of Halifax for Thomas Lloyd. It has been repaired following bomb damage in 1942. The weir is approximately 140 meters long and features massive gritstone slabs set on edge, along with concrete repairs. Its purpose is to direct the major flow of water through the mill at all times. A fulling mill existed at Armley by the mid-16th century, leased by Richard Booth from Henry Savile.
