HOLME DYE WORKS.

SALE of EXTENSIVE and Valuable DYE WORKS, at
THORNES, near WAKEFIELD, advantageously situate for
carrying on business in Cloth and Wool Dying, and also in Stuff
Dying, and Finishing, in connexion with the Towns of Man-
chester, Bradford, Leeds, Halifax, Huddersfield, Dewsbury, and

MESSRS. BECKET and CHILD, have the
honour to announce that they have received instructions
to offer the above valuable and eligibly situated Premises for
public competition, on FRIDAY, the 22d day of November next, at
the Strafford Arms Hotel, in Wakefield aforesaid, at Four o'Clock
in the Afternoon.

These Premises are upon the Banks of the Calder (the water of
which has long been celebrated for its excellency for Dyeing pur.
poses), and are situate higher up the stream than any other similar
establishment.

The works possess facilities for the transit of goods rarely to be
met with. They are bounded by the river Calder, the Calder and
Hebble Navigation, and the Wakefield and Denby Dale Turnpike
road, and are wi.hin a short distance of the Manchester and Leeds
Railway.

In the Immediate vicinity are several working Collieries, from
whence fuel may be obtained on very reasonable terms.

The Buildings have been erected within the last four years, and
are arranged upon a plan admitted by competent Judges to be equal
if not superior to any other Dyehouse in the kingdom.
The Steam Engine is 30 horse power, and connected with it are
FIVE LARGE BOILERS,
constructed for the purpose of generating steam for the works, and
all the machinery (including large Indigo Mill, and every requisite
for preparing Dye.woods), utensils, and Implements, are on the
most modern and improved principles.

Attached to the premises is
A NEWLY-BUILT DWELLINa-HOLISE,
containing dining, drawing, and breakfast-rooms, and two kitchens
oil the ground-floor; and adjoining are tastefully laid.out Plea-
sure Grounds, sloping to the river, and forming
a most desirable
residence for the Proprietor of the Works.
Contiguous are
TWO ACRES OF GRASS LAND,
And excellent STABLES AND WORKSHOPS.
Plans and particulars of the property are in course of prepara-
tion, and may shortly be had on application to the parties to be
named in a future announcement.
For further particulars, or for an order to view the works, a• Iy
