A very important set of mills. Chorlton New Mill is to the right and Macintosh's Mill of 1837 is straight ahead. This was latterly owned by Dunlop and its name is still on the frontage. These mills are all being converted into accommodation and are interspersed with a variety of new buildings that I consider to be of varying merit. Should have done this area 2-3 years earlier, or even better in the 1980s when I was photographing a compressor a mere 100 yards away.
