There were 8 Atlas Mills with Nos. 5 & 8 originally in other ownership and acquired by the Musgrave empire at a later date. No. 7 was built in 1887 and was the only one built as a weaving shed. No. 6 Mill is visible in the distance and was a typical spinning mill. No. 6's Musgrave twin tandem compound engine powered No. 6 and No. 7. Its barring engine survives only a few yards away in the Bolton Steam Museum.
