Victoria Mill, Miles Platting
A view of Victoria Mill from the towpath of the Rochdale Canal at Miles Platting.
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.
