Higher Mill is a textile mill situated at Helmshore in Lancashire. The mill dates from the late eighteenth century and represents an important example of industrial heritage from the period of Lancashire's development as a centre of textile manufacture. The structure survives as evidence of the mechanisation of cloth production during the Industrial Revolution, when water-powered mills became characteristic features of the Rossendale Valley landscape. The mill retains significant original features and is now preserved as part of Helmshore Textile Galleries, serving as a museum that demonstrates the technological and social history of the textile industry in the region.
