Lloydsfield Mill
Late 19th century cotton mill now in other uses. I have deduced the location and mill name from its position in the slide box, satellite imagery, google, multimap and "Textile mills in Greater Manchester". Please correct me if I've screwed up.

Miles Platting - Oldham Road
The southernmost portion of the main A62 out of Manchester is pictured at the boundary between Ancoats and Miles Platting, near Butler Lane. Neither is a good place to stroll around at quiet times of day.

Chimney, Lloydsfield Mill, Miles Platting
Again this is an exercise in deductive reasoning. The slide box is labelled "Miles Platting" and the slide is consecutive with Lloydsfield Mill as I've identified it. The multimap satellite shows a chimney hard by the canal but the google earth image shows cleared ground. The flats behind are still visible on the satellite. I still don't take adequate notes but these days they're on Geograph while the memory is fresh.
Some people would consider the above as superfluous "trumpet blowing" - I regard it as interesting background!

Rochdale Canal, Lock#80 (Coalpit Lower)
Coalpit Lower Lock (#80 on the Rochdale Canal) with Victoria Mill behind.
Victoria Mill is Miles Platting’s most prominent building. A huge former textile mill which looms over the Rochdale Canal. The six-storey building is composed of two symmetrical mill blocks separated by an engine house. Its distinctive chimney rises within a stair tower and at roof level there is a gallery of windows.
The mill was built in two phases in 1869 and 1873 to a design by the famous Bolton architect George Woodhouse. The mill was built for William Holland who moved his textile business to Miles Platting from his Adelphi Mill in Salford.
The Victoria Mill continued to operate until the 1960s but once it closed it fell into an almost derelict condition until it was restored in the 1990s. Today it is home to apartments, an adult learning centre, and NHS offices.
