Opened in 1856 by Martin Swindells, a local cotton spinner who also owned Clarence Mill in Bollington, he built The Adelphi Mill for his two sons, hence the name 'Adelphi', which is Greek for brothers. It is now converted to offices. http://www.adelphimill.co.uk/history.asp The "pub" which had staircases down to the canal towpath is now disused; it had a very short life.
