Title: Mill near Ogden, Halifax.
Post by: Maggie J on Monday 05 October 20 12:54 BST (UK)

As a child we used to play and have picnics at a place called Tripping Green at Ogden, Halifax. It's near Union Lane and the Hebble Brook runs through there. There were the remains of a building there and I was told by my parents that it was an old mill and my great grandmother had worked there. Does anyone know the name of this mill? I am writing a family history and would like to include this.

May be something in this link via Google.  You could contact the owner in case he has knowledge of the mill you are looking for

Or, a little further away - Brookhouse Mill:

Thank you for that! I think it was probably Bottoms Mill - it seems to be where I remember it. Thanks for the link to the map too, very interesting. It wasn't Brookhouse as that was further down the Hebble Brook, but it was near it.
Sorry for late reply. I usually get an email when I've had a response but didn't get one so only just checked my post!
