Leeds' industrial past is brought vividly to life at this heritage centre on the banks of the River Aire. The two fully operational waterwheels are amazing to behold but it's the history of the mill, its owners and workforce that really fascinates. The museum and restored workers' cottages offer an interesting - and often poignant - glimpse into what life was really like in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It's an especially pleasant place to visit in summer when you can have a riverside picnic. Closed during Jan and Feb. Admission: adults £2, concs £1, children (accompanied by an adult) 50p. Free entry on 26 and 27 Nov.
