Gateside Bobbin Mill

Image: © Chris Allen Taken: 20 Oct 2016

Founded for flax spinning in 1805 it later became a bobbin manufacturing mill in the later 19th century. It was rebuilt in brick after a fire in 1949. The chimney served a Lancashire boiler. The mill is now in multiple occupancy but appeared very run down with little happening. I took a handful of photographs and moved swiftly on.
