The awe-inspiring sight of Manningham's landmark mill will be seen across the globe when it is included in a new website.

Lister's Mill will be going on the Internet with more than 100 other British buildings as part of a new site designed to show regeneration success stories and those areas still needing work.

And Salt's Mill in Saltaire will be there too as a shining example of a successful regeneration scheme.

The new project is being launched by the University of York's department of archaeology and Business in the Community, an initiative established by the Prince of Wales.

Dr Michael Stratton, one of the leading authorities on historic industrial buildings, said: "These buildings form a rich legacy of social and architectural history and are frequently innovative in design and structure.

"There is a wide range of this industrial heritage lying vacant or under-used, including mills, warehouses, factories, naval dockyards, breweries, power stations, iron works, distilleries and tin mines."

Sue Taylor, who is researching the project, said: "It will be a positive resource for regenerating projects and to give communities and project leaders some confidence in moving forward."

The 255ft tower at Lister's Mill dominates Bradford's skyline. The mill employed 5,000 in its heyday and the velvet produced there was among the best in the world.

The Regeneration Through Heritage Website will take the form of a gazetteer of buildings.
