The mill is a very large double mill with the boiler house and chimney between Mills Nos. 1 and 2. This view just shows an end on view of No. 2 Mill with the chimney beyond. This is the best surviving mill complex in Leigh and also houses a large mill steam engine of 1800 horsepower that is now being restored.
