Ainsworth Mill chimney and engine house

This former finishing and dyeworks owned by the Ainsworth Finishing Company was derelict in 2009 but has since been adaptively reused. The building alongside the chimney was almost certainly an engine house for a horizontal engine. It had later had a chimney inserted in its roofline and presumably contained a more modern boiler.
