Textile finishing machinery, Red Bridge Mills, Ainsworth
This site was operated by Stephen Glaister Ltd until 1985 when the company was liquidated. It is believed the works has been demolished. The machinery is a set of cloth drying cylinder (or "tins") and it was driven by a small diagonal duplex steam engine, now scrapped. Photographed in operation.
Sadly, I didn't photograph the works.

Steam engine, Red Bridge Mills, Ainsworth
Diagonal duplex steam engine by Duncan Stewart & Co (1902) Ltd of Glasgow. Swathed in steam from leaking glands, this was hard at work driving a set of drying cylinders for fabric. This was typical of the textile dyeing and finishing trades. Now long since scrapped - the works closed in 1985.

Red (or Middle Brook) Bridge
A modern road sign names this bridge, which carries Red Lane over Blackshaw Brook, "Red Bridge". However, the inscription in the stone bridge walls names it as "Middle Brook Bridge". The OS map uses both names (ie "Red Bridge or Middle Brook Bridge").
