Title
Jubilee Mill and Bottoms on left, Walsden - HPC00172
Description
NAME: JUBILEE MILL
LOCATION: Bottoms
REF: CD 5
GRID REF: 934 214
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Empty
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Late 19C/earkt 20C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: This is one of the few brick-built mills in this district, and its main feature is a large, 15 light weaving shed. Other buildings mainly two storey, with engine house and 100ft plus high circular chimney emblazoned with the mill’s name.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: The mill is currently empty, although part of it is used for storage. The large weaving shed may have potential for industrial re-use. Information from Mill Survey carried out in 1984.
NAME: BOTTOMS MILL
LOCATION: Bottoms
REF: CD6
GRID REF: 934 214
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Fully used
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Mid-late 19C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Quite a small mill site on either side of Rochdale Road. Mill buildings and a weaving shed were first erected in the 1850’s on the western side and subsequently enlarged. The buildings are mainly stone built, with some brick additions and alterations. Large stone weaving shed and a later, circular brick chimney. Across the road is a group of small stone buildings and a brick built weaving shed with an octagonal stone chimney (probably reduced). This was the site of WINTERBUTLEE MILL, built c1860 as a cotton spinning mill and purchased by Bottoms Mill in 1820. This site was much larger at one time – main mill buildings now gone.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: This mill is one of only seven in Todmorden area still engaged in textiles manufacture, cotton waste spinning being the main activity here. Mill shop on the site. The main chimney (together with that of Jubilee Mill next door) is a notable land mark in this part of the Todmorden-Littleborough valley.
