Also known as Fort Pendlestone. Originally there was a corn mill on the site but this is a more recent cotton mill. It was originally water powered but was later supplemented by a vertical steam engine of Yorkshire build. The late George Watkins photographed this in 1953 but it's long gone. The Mills are rather fine but squeezed in beside the road and currently fenced off. Need I say they are being adaptively reused, although it seems to have been ongoing for a couple of years.
