It is hard to tell from this angle but this is in Burnley town centre. The mill is now converted to commercial use (as a night club) but was a cotton spinning mill that was being worked by 1848 and had a McNaughted beam engine of 30 horsepower when put up for sale in 1877. Was later part of Proctor's Ironworks.
