Victoria Mill was built in 1860 and when it closed in 1985 was the last cotton spinning mill to work in New Mills. It was partly destroyed by fire on 13-3-1986 and has subsequently been largely demolished. There is a picture of it just after the fire on the front of New Mills - A look back at its Industrial Heritage (1997). This is a very useful book published by New Mills Local History Society and is a model of its kind.
