Spindle Street Mill, Congleton
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.

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.

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,
