Albion Mills 1 to 4 were built between 1850 and 1870 as cotton spinning mills. Mills 1 to 3 were demolished in the 1970s. Mill No. 4 ceased work as a textile mill under Courtaulds in 1958 but is still in multiple uses, including for self storage. The big blind brick rectangle by the left hand edge is the scar where an external engine house has been demolished and the rope race entrance blocked up.
