This is a confusing corner. The building in the background carries the title Newtown Mill but is actually Newtown Steel Works that was part of the Burnley Iron Works site. Newtown Mill is the closer building with tall round-headed windows on the left and the fine chimney is its. Newtown Mill, now labelled Lodge House, was built in 1864. It is now used as offices. The book Burnley Cotton Mills by Jack Nadin (2008) is a valuable resource for sorting out these sites.
