Regent Mill, Failsworth - offices
This spinning mill was built in 1906 to the design of G Stott and housed 60,000 ring spindles driven by a Buckley and Taylor inverted vertical triple expansion engine of 1800 horsepower. The cylinders had Corliss valves and were 24", 39" & 63" bores x 4' 6" stroke. It ran at 75 revolutions per minute and drove by 36 ropes from the 26' diameter flywheel.
The mill ceased production in 1966 but remains in good condition and in alternative commercial use.
This shows the single storey office block next to the entrance to the mill yard. There is sufficient ornamentation to relieve an otherwise plain building. A similar treatment extends to the gate posts.

The 'Last Orders', Oldham Road, Failsworth
I suspect that this was not the original name of this house. I have seen similarly-named houses with almost identical signs in other not-too-distant areas, and I suspect a chain.

This view is through the gates and shows the stair tower with its hotel de ville type top. To the right is the windowless section that shows the position of the rope race that housed the pulleys driving the mill. The projecting engine house is out of sight to the right. The edge of the single storey office building is just visible on the left.
