Robin Hood Mills, Bolton
The elegant entrance to the mills that were built in 1848 and 1882. The office block matches the mill on the left while there is a clear join with different coloured bricks to the mill on the right. The site is still in industrial use. The buildings are in good repair but the most aesthetic part is this office/entrance block. Engine houses could not be seen on this elevation.

The Little John, Lever Street
The surroundings are more industrial than residential - ideally suited to attract millworkers after a hard day at work! The style of the frontage suggests a rebuilding in around the 1920s. Note the painted Walker's panel on the gable wall. Walker's were a large Liverpool and Warrington based firm who took over at least one local Bolton brewery.
The name reflects the presence of Robin Hood Mill on the opposite side of the road.

No.s 1 & 2 mills built in 1848 and 1882. In 1985 No. 1 Mill was used by Bolton Plastic Components (still on site) and No. 2 by Sundour Fabrics Ltd. In 1902 the beam engine in No. 2 suffered a serious smash when the beam broke but fortunately nobody was injured.

The original use of this building is unclear from old maps, but it is now occupied by a firm of moulded plastic container manufacturers who occupy part of the Robin Hood Mill on the opposite side of the road.

Grecian Mills from the north
To the left is the late 19th century second phase of the mill, and to the right the 1925 extension. The light-coloured dressings of this section are concrete rather than stone. Until the 1970s there were terraced houses where the cars are parked.

Grecian Mills, north east range
Undated, but probably a later 19th century extension to the original mill. Most of the hard-standing area was occupied by a range of terraced houses facing onto Grecian Street, leaving just a narrow back street (Grecian Street West) alongside the mill itself. This was demolished in the 1970s.

Former textile mill now in multiple occupancy. This view shows the 1925 extension in front of the late 19th century second phase. The paler detailing on the extension is in concrete rather than stone.
