The mill was built for Peter Dixon, at one time employing 8000 people. It was designed by Robert Tattersall of Manchester, with the interior cast iron framing and machinery designed by Sir William Fairbairn. At the time of its completion in 1836, the Shaddon Mill, was the largest cotton mill in England. It stands to seven storeys, is 225ft long by 60ft wide, and reaches 83ft high, with Dixon's Chimney towering above it, originally to a height of 305ft.
