Century Mill, Worrall Street, Congleton
This early twentieth century brick weaving shed with north light roof and a two storey preparation and warehouse block is identified as Century Mill but is regarded as part of Lower Park Street Mill. This was originally a silk mill but appears to have been re-used by Nortek Group - manufacturers of industrial and educational furniture.

Building on the site of Meadow Mills, Congleton
The big red brick multistorey building incorporated the name stone of Meadow Mills but is obviously a total reconstruction. The original mill was built in 1860 as a silk throwing mill but later converted to fustian cutting. Apparently the rear western single storey brick workshop survives. My guess is that this is now Soapy Joes car wash.

Congleton Rugby Club, Park Street
Although I was concentrating on Congleton's textile past, this pleasing building caught my eye and it was only decent to take its picture.
