NOTES: This mill was built adjacent to Marshall's Mill for John Marshall (1765-1845), a prominent Leeds industrialist and politican. It became known as Temple Works thanks to its design which was based on the Temple of Horus at Edfu in Egypt. The mill was closed down in October 1886 and it was used thereafter as a weaving shed, a clothing factory and then a warehouse.
