THE STORIES of two enterprising Victorians are bound up with a Yeadon mill which dominated the landscape for more than a century. Leafield Mill can be seen in these photographs, from the online archive of Aireborough Historical Society, along with images of two of the men who owned it. The mill was built by William Starkey as part of his attempt to recreate machinery described in the bible. Wesleyan preacher and cloth merchant Starkey wanted to power Leafield Mill using a perpetual motion device based on the “wheel within a wheel” from the book of Ezekiel. His doomed quest is described in the archives of Aireborough Historical Society.
