Butts Mill is a Grade II listed building, built in 1905 by Stott and Sons of Oldham. This cotton spinning mill, on Butts Street, was originally designed as a double mill and has one wall unfinished. The mirror half of the mill was never built. It is the only large, early twentieth century cotton spinning mill in the Wigan district and one of the best surviving examples of its type in the Greater Manchester area. http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-436632-butts-mill-leigh - British Listed Buildings
