Looking east along the Ashton Canal towards Cavendish Street. Ahead, on the left, is Cavendish Mill which is a Grade II* listed former cotton spinning mill (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-212750-cavendish-mill- British Listed Buildings). It was built between 1884 and 1885 for the Cavendish Spinning Company. It ceased spinning cotton in 1934 and was then used for a variety of purposes before it was converted into housing in 1994.
