John Rennie's canal dates from the last years of the 18th century, while the mill was built in the early years of the 20th. It was one of the last of Preston's cotton mills to close. It's future was secured when it was taken over by the Littlewoods Catalogue Company. Today it a call centre for Carphone Warehouse. The imposing mill chimney one of the few to survive has in fact been lowered twice over the years
