The empty space in the middle is where Brook Mill stood. The tower on the right is the main bit standing and on the left it had been contiguous with Stonehouse Green Mill where the braced red wall is. The mill had been a steam powered 5 storey silk spinning mill built in 1835. I believe it had been intended to convert it to housing but it has now disappeared. It is seen in this view - Image
