An early 19th century textile mill for John Greenwood and his son. The earliest block is Listed Grade II. This is a more modern block but the chimneys have gone. The Mill is now occupied by Linear Composites, a subsidiary of Maccaferri. Maccaferri specialises in providing innovative solutions to the geotechnical, construction and mining industries. These include gabion retaining structures. Linear Composites specialises in high strength composites such as ropes, synthetic webbing, geogrids and flame retardant mesh. These have a wide variety of applications in construction, land stabilisation and mining to name a few. It is nice to see an old mill being used for high-tech products.
