Batley Photos by Alan Farrar, 2006 Alan Farrar has been sharing information with the web sited for some time now. Recently he volunteered to take some pictures of the some of the older buildings that remain in Batley. In the 1860s there were over 30 shoddy mills in the town. Now only a handful of mill buildings are left. The mills have long since been shut down and the buildings turned to other uses. Alan and his daughter, Rachel, took the following photos of Batley in April, 2006.
