Chatham Mill, Chester Street, Manchester
A former cotton mill dating from 1820. On the left is a truncated chimney. Grade II listed.
One of a good cluster of former mills a little way west of Oxford Road and south of Whitworth Street. Pevsner comments that they "include important examples of early C19 fireproof construction" and several of them produced Macintosh's patented waterproof fabric.
Most have been converted to flats, although I think this one is an exception.

Dumped exhibit, John Dalton College
Lightfoot Refrigeration compressor, motor driven. Came from a chemical works in North Wales and used to be erected and displayed in a courtyard at this college. I photographed it in monochrome in the early 1980s and was somewhat dismayed to see it dismantled and unceremoniously dumped like this.

Marsland's and Chorlton Old Mills, Cambridge Street, Manchester
Marsland's is the nearer, and was used for cotton spinning. Built 1795 and rebuilt 1813. Grade II listed.
The more monumental Chorlton is roughly contemporary, built for Robert Owen in 1795, and extended in 1803 (out of shot). Owen sold it before moving to New Lanark. Grade II listed.
