This was built in 1856 for the spinning of cotton, and later silk. During the Second World War, spinning ceased and the production of parachutes took over. At the end of the sixties the Mill was bought by Britax for the production of webbing for motorcar seatbelts until the late eighties. The Mill was then sold and converted to offices and workshop uses. One section by the black staircase was a public house for a short time in the 1990s, but did not last. The mill is by the Macclesfield Canal. More history: http://www.adelphimill.co.uk/history.asp
