Another view of this mill also known as Sir John Holden's Mill and the last cotton spinning mill to be built in Bolton. The trees obscure the lower levels and the new penthouses are perhaps a little obtrusive. As stated before, this mill used grid electricity and it never possessed a typical mill chimney, although I've noticed a little brick stack in front of the water tower that might have serviced a central heating boiler.
