A part of Creams Paper Mill was constructed in 1956, just to the east of Bailey Bridge, directly over the canal’s route. The towpath is just to the right; the main paper mill complex was also to the right, lower down the valley, above the River Irwell. I'm not sure when the building was demolished; the mill closed at the end of 2004 and this building was still standing (though empty) as late as 2009 (http://www.urbexforums.com/showthread.php/5517-Creams-paper-Mill-Little-Lever-(Nr-Bolton)-Sep-09 photos taken September 2009).
