Tower Works' Towers

The three towers of Tower Works in Leeds. Built during the Victorian period, the factory made steel pins for carding and combing in the textile industry. The towers were used to extract steel dust and the largest featured cutting edge ventilation technology when it was built.  The towers are now listed, meaning they are protected from demolition and some kinds of redevelopment.
