Grecian Mills, Bolton
A former cotton mill that is now in multiple occupancy. This is the west range date 1878. Although Alan Murray-Rust states this seems to have been for warehouses and workshops, it does include a chimney base and may well have housed its own steam engine.

Grecian Mills, Bolton - chimney base
A complex of former cotton mills dating from 1845 and now in multiple occupancy. This west range is dated 1878 and Alan Murray-Rust suggests it was used for warehouse and workshops. However, as this view shows it includes a very substantial chimney base and the projecting building on the left is suggestive of a boiler house. Therefore it probably had its own power source, suggesting more than a passive function. the aerial view shows a section of the building without a roof by the chimney and I wonder if this was an internal engine house.

Grecian Mills, Bolton - the west range
This range dates from 1878 and Alan Murray-Rust suggests it was used for workshops and warehouses. However, in the background with some associated foliage is a substantial chimney base. This suggests the range had its own steam power and may not have had an entirely passive role. The mills are former cotton mills but now in multiple occupancy.

Grecian Mills, Bolton - entrance to west range
A complex of former cotton mills dating from 1845 and now in multiple occupancy. This west range is dated 1878, as seen above the door, and Alan Murray-Rust suggests it was used for warehouse and workshops. However, it includes a very substantial chimney base. Therefore it probably had its own power source, suggesting more than a passive function. the aerial view shows a section of the building without a roof by the chimney and I wonder if this was an internal engine house.
