6-storey spinning mill, probably dating from around 1905, built as an extension to the original Bolton Textile Mill which has now been demolished. The projecting mill engine house is not seen in this view but powered the mill by cotton ropes. The rope race now contains a goods lift and the engine house is a loading bay.
