Park Mill, Congleton
A former silk mill built in 1825 by Charles Townley. Three storeys and 16 bays, brick built with a rendered front. Extensively rebuilt as accommodation in the late twentieth century. Although it has not been spoilt with balconies, you could be forgiven for not realising it was a nearly two hundred year old silk mill,
