Atlas Mills
Atlas Mills was a very large complex with 8 mills. This is one part of the complex and I'm not sure if the grid ref is spot on.
According to John Phillp of the Northern Mill Engine Society this is Atlas No. 1 Mill and was built in 1862 by the Musgrave Spinning Co. It was converted to electric drive as early as 1908 (early indeed). Morrisons supermarket is now on this spot.

This is Atlas No. 2 Mill, built in 1868. Drive was by a beam engine.

Morrisons supermarket, Chorley Old Road, Bolton
The supermarket and its filling station and car park occupy most of the site of the former Atlas Mills, of which only a warehouse now remains, housing the Bolton Steam Museum.

Northern Mill Engine Society Museum
Atlas No. 3 Mill, Mornington Road, Bolton. I believe this was the first public open day. This magnificent achievement was dismantled to make way for a supermarket and a bigger and better museum is arising in a nearby building.
The NMES is now (2008) 42 years old and I've been a member (very largely inactive) since about 1976.
Looking at a picture like this, you wonder what has become of all the people in it.
