Paragon Mill, Jersey Street, Manchester
Vigorous red brick with stone trim and some Baroque details such as the open pediment. Built by a Mr Porter of the Fine Cotton Spinners' Engineering Division, 1911-13. Underneath the brick is steel and concrete. Pevsner notes that the mill was "designed to house electrically powered mules, with electric motors housed in towers ... in the first generation of those purpose-built for electricity, which was supplied by the Corporation." Grade II* listed.
Almost all the 'windows' here are not real but painted. The plan is to convert it to flats.

Next along is Murray's complex and Beehive is beyond the street furniture. Anybody remotely interested in textile mill history needs "Cotton Mills in Greater Manchester".

Royal and Sedgwick Mills
McConnel and Kennedy's site. Royal Mill (left) dates from 1912 and replaced Old Mill of 1798. It abuts the eight storey Sedgwick Mill of 1818-1820. The door in to Sedgwick (next to the guy on his mobile) leads in to the former beam engine house (Boulton and Watt). The flash of green visible through that door is a replica flywheel in the original recess in the wall that accommodated the engine's flywheel (a thoughtful touch).
