GRID REF: 038 245
CLASSIFICATION: D
CONDITION: Empty
APPROX DATE OF SITE AND BUILDINGS: Early 20C
DESCRIPTION/HISTORY: Built at a similar date to Ellen Holme Mill next door, this large site also possesses extensive weaving sheds. Also a two and three storey stone building with decorative stone work and a small tower. Engine shed (date stone 1907) and a tall, circular brick chimney being demolished Spring 1984.
PRESENT USE AND POTENTIAL: A good example of the vulnerability of mills (especially large sites) once they become empty. Last used by a cotton waste spinners, the site was then put up for sale. Demolition began early 1984, although not clear how much of the site will be cleared.
