In October 2011 Morphe and Mimar Architecture made a planning application as part of a strategy of bringing Drummond Mills, Lumb Lane, Manningham back to life and to act as a catalyst to regeneration in the local neighbourhood.
The historic complex owned by SKA Textiles of Huddersfield was recently animated with a staged drama-documentary presented by Bradford theatre company Freedom Studio.
