Originally owned by G & R Dewhurst and the older block has 1860 on the rainwater heads. A new engine house was built in 1901 to replace the original double beam engine. The mill was later owned by the Preston Tyre Fabric Manufacturing Co and is now in multiple occupancy. Colin Bowden identified my image and pointed me to T C Dickinson (2002), Cotton Mills of Preston for more data.
