Ripe for development
Cleared site beside the River Medlock and very close to Oxford Road station, awaiting development. Something like the blocks in the background, perhaps?

Chorlton New Mill
The corner block with the two arched openings for a former double beam engine house is the block of 1845. The block leading to the chimney is the original 1814 mill. This is believed to be the oldest surviving example of fireproof mill construction in Greater Manchester.
The complex is well documented and well described in M Williams with D A Farnie, Cotton Mills in Greater Manchester, 1992. This was in association with RCHM(E) and is suitably erudite.
Returning to the mill, the opening up of the engine room arches is welcome but the roof garden and chimney balcony are dubious.

Cambridge Mill and Chorlton New Mill
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. Chorlton New Mill, with chimney, has blocks dating from 1814, 1818 and 1845. In the 1860s an entire complex of mills in this area was taken over by Charles Macintosh for the production of rubberised cloth.
