Temple Works, also known as Temple Mill, is home to what was once proclaimed to be world’s largest room at about two acres; one of the world’s first hydraulic lifts; and innovative engineering techniques were used in its construction. The building was in a significant state of disrepair after being left unoccupied since 2004. In 2008 the building suffered a partial collapse affecting the front elevation and roof structure and in 2009 was put on the Heritage At Risk register. As such the building is a key priority for Leeds City Council and Historic England.
