Large cotton spinning mill of 1907. The engine house projects on the left and would have driven the mill by cotton ropes from the engine's flywheel. The engine was a J & E Wood of Bolton horizontal four cylinder triple expansion engine with a 26' flywheel. It drove 127,500 mule spindles and a dynamo. The mill has now been demolished and replaced with houses. One of the new roads is Weaver's Road, which is ironic because it was a spinning mill. The positions are approximate, especially for the photographer.
