The Howk Bobbin Mill is a textile mill situated in Cumberland, England, dating from the nineteenth century. The structure represents the industrial heritage of the Lake District region, where bobbin mills were established to supply the textile industry with wooden bobbins and spools. The mill reflects the period of industrial expansion during the Victorian era, when water-powered mills exploited the region's rivers and streams to drive manufacturing processes. As a designated heritage monument, it survives as evidence of the specialised manufacturing industries that sustained Cumberland's economy during the Industrial Revolution.
