The Howk Bobbin Mill is a water-powered bobbin mill located in Cumberland, England. The structure dates from the nineteenth century and represents the industrial heritage associated with the Lake District's textile and woodworking industries. Bobbin mills were essential facilities that produced wooden bobbins and spools for the cotton, woollen, and linen industries, and this example reflects the region's engagement with such manufacturing. The mill's survival as a designated monument preserves evidence of the mechanical processes and water power systems that characterised local industrial production during the period.
