Sunny Bank Mills is a former textile mill, which specialised in worsted cloth, set in 10 acres of land located on Town Street, Farsley, Leeds, England.[1] Since 2010, it has been developed as a business and artistic community, with an exhibitions gallery selling fine art by local artists; a textile and local history archive; shops, cafés, artist studios; as well as outdoor spaces.[2] It is run by the Gaunt family who took ownership in 1943.[2][3] The archive was awarded Archive Community Accreditation by West Yorkshire Archive Service in January 2021.[4]
