sure.grounds. .

And also Two Acres of excellent GRASS LAND (be the
same more or less) contiguous to the said Dyeworks and Dwelling-

house.

The above Works, although possessing so considerable a
Frontage to the Calder, are situated on such a level as precludes
their being at any time inconvenienced by Floods, and being placed
higher up the stream than any other similar Establishment,
they possess all the advantages of the purest supply of Water from
a River so justly celebrated for its Dyeing Properties.
The Works also possess facilities for the transit of goods rarely

to be met with, as independently of their contiguity to the River
and the Canal, they arc within Two Hundred and Fifty Yards of
the Manchester and Leeds Railway, and also adjoin the Turn-
pike.road.
In the immediate vicinity are several working Collieries, from
whence fuel may be obtained at One Shilling per Ton.
The whole of the Buildings have been erected within the last four
years, and are arranged upon a plan admitted by the most competent
judges to be equal, if not superior, to any other Dyehouse in the
kingdom.
