Spindle Street Mill, Congleton
Brick built silk mill of the mid-19th century. From 1924 used for fustian cutting and now in other use. At this western end it is claimed the engine house partly survives at ground floor level with stone window surrounds. I reckon it the part with three arch-headed windows. The lighting was problematic from this corner.

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,

Brick built silk mill of the mid-19th century. From 1924 used for fustian cutting and now in other use. Apparently the engine and boiler house partly survive at ground floor level with stone window surrounds - I missed that.

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.

The sign for The Antelope
This is the sign for Image at the top of Lawton Street. Originally this animal would have been painted a little more flamboyantly, with a mane, a long tail and looking fawn-like so that they appeared more heraldic. More modern sign painters, however, prefer to depict them in a more natural stance. The antelope, and sometimes just the antelope's head, has long been associated with heraldry and appears in many coats of arms and emblems, including royal ones such as Henry V and Henry VI. My grateful thanks to Trish Steel ( http://www.geograph.org.uk/profile/9274 ) for her help in the research for this.
