Thomas Lloyd rebuilt Armley Mills and leased it to Israel
Burrows and Christopher Hill; by 1793 Israel and his brother
John occupied the houses and used part of the premises for
their own weaving business. Although now in an isolated part
of the site the houses originally stood on the main path into
the mill from the river ford just downstream. In the early C20
the warehouse was of 3 storeys and extended further west.
