A historic clock which stopped a quarter of a century ago has been restored to its former glory as part of a multi-million pound mill regeneration project.

Time is flying again at Dalton Mills in Dalton Lane, Keighley, as its landmark timepiece started ticking again after a 25-year break.

In the mill's heyday, thousands of workers relied on the clock to get to work on time.

Now property development company, Magna Holdings, which is behind the £30 million development of Dalton Mills, has restarted this Keighley landmark.

The three faces of the clock have also been lit up to display the time to the whole of Dalton Lane once again.

The original faces of the clock have been retained but an electric motor drive has been added which illuminates the clock and makes it more reliable.

Dalton Mills is being regenerated to provide 200,000 sq ft of commercial, residential and arts space, including conference facilities and a museum.

The first phase of the development in the Clock Tower is now complete with three floors of commercial office space available to rent.

The regeneration of the mill is one of the key projects in the Airedale Masterplan, which was drawn up to guide the regeneration of the district.

Digby Lovell, development director of Magna Holdings said: "These are exciting times for Magna and Dalton Mills. I feel very privileged to be the custodian of this historic mill and look forward to ensuring its future in the 21st century."
