  1. Benjamin Gott

    Image BenjaminGott.jpg thumb right 200px Benjamin Gott. Benjamin Gott 24 June 1762 14 February1840 was one of the leading figures in the industrial revolution , in the field of Textile manufacture during the Industrial Revolution textiles . His factory at Armley Mills, Armley , Leeds , was once the largest factory in the world and is now home to the Armley Mills Industrial Museum . Gott was born in Calverley , Pudsey in West Yorkshire , England , to John Gott who was a civil engineer and county surveyor. Benjamin was sent to Bingley Grammar School until he was 17. When he finished school in 1780, his father apprenticed him to Wormald & Fountaine, wool merchants. Gott s most notable contribution to the industrial revolution happened at Armley Mills, which he leased in 1804. The mill had been badly damaged by fire when he bought the ruins and ordered that the rebuilding include cast iron internal frames and other fireproofing measures. When the repairs were completed in 1805, the new factory was the largest wool factory in the world. Gott experimented with new ways of making wool cloth, introducing innovations such as using Steam engine steam power and power loom s. Gott made a large fortune, and he reinvested much of it back into improving his mills and buying new ones. He also founded almshouse s in Armley , collected fine art, and presided over the founding of the Leeds Philosophical & Literary Society in 1819. His other mills included Bean Ings 1792 , the first wool factory, Burley Mills 1798 , and St Ann s Mills 1824 . Gott became Mayor of Leeds in 1799, and, by the time he died in 1841, he was a millionaire. His house 1820 and grounds designed by Humphrey Repton overlooked the Kirkstall Valley and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal from the Armley side. In 1928 Gott s house and grounds were leased by Leeds City Council to create a municipal golf course and Armley Park .
