Manningham Mills is one the prominent features on the Bradford skyline with it's 255 foot chimney. It is a grade 2 listed building and much of it has been converted into apartments by Urban Splash. It is also known locally as Lister's Mill due to it's founder Samuel Cunliffe Lister. The property was built in 1873 and replaced another mill on the site.
A strike at t'mill in 1890/91 led to the foundation of the Independent Labour Party from which the modern Labour Party evolved.
