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.

Cambridge Mill, Chorlton-on-Medlock
Chorlton is less well known than Ancoats but contains a very important collection of early cotton mills. Cambridge Mill is also known as (I think) Chorlton Old Mill, originally built 1795 but rebuilt since. In the 1860s an entire complex of mills in this area was taken over by Charles Macintosh for the production of rubberised cloth. This mill is now apartments.
