Rock Mill, in the Waterloo district of Ashton-Under-Lyne, during demolition work in March 1971. The former cotton spinning mill was built between 1891 and 1893. It ceased production in the 1960s and was demolished in 1971, having been bought by ASDA and became the site of the first purpose-built supermarket in Tameside. (ASDA later moved to the site of another mill, Wharf Mill - http://menmedia.co.uk/tamesideadvertiser/community/nostalgia/s/383455_the_1970s Tameside Advertiser.) http://www.ashton-under-lyne.com/photos/gallery101.htm for a photo of the mill whilst still in use.
