Harle Syke Mill was a cotton weaving mill located in Harle Syke, Briercliffe, near Burnley. It was the second cotton weaving mill in Briercliffe and was set up under the Joint Stock Companies Act 1844

Founders
In 1856 sixty four people; fifty one men and thirteen women, of which two thirds were weavers and residents in Briercliffe came together, inspired by similar groups accross Lancashire. Formed as the Haggate Joint Stock Commercial Company, five men were named as directors: William Smith, Robert Emmott, John Bradshaw, Thomas Taylor and Jonathan Duerdon. Robert Taylor, William Greenwood and John Rawson were named as trustees, with James Thornton and John Stucliffe as auditors. .

Room and Power
The HJSCC underwent a change in the mid 1860s, becoming a 'room and power' mill. This meant that it's income came from letting out space to tennants who rented room and power in the mill building.

Imitators
The mill led to local imitators springing up. Briercliffe Mill Company in 1880, Queen Street Mill in 1894 and Walshaw Mill in 1905.

Rebirth
The directors of the HJSCC decided to liquidate the company in 1903, and replace it with the Harle Syke Mill Company, looking to acquire all of the old assets, and expand the mill building, as well as updating the steam engine. .

The End
The decline of the cotton industry meant that by 1941 the company had downsized greatly, and in 1959 the shareholders voted to join the cotton industry reorganisation scheme. The mill finally closed in March 1960.
