This is one of the more decorative of the Leek silk mills, and includes this prominent panel with the name 'Brough, Nicholson and Hall', who were one of the larger silk firms. Building designed by Sugden & Son, around 1900. Grade II listed. Note how the building is tailored to fit the curves of the existing street layout rather than being a standard rectangular building.
