Rochdale Canal in foreground.The big 1912 block is Royal Mills with attached Sedgwick Mill (1818-1820). This was McConnel and Kennedy's Complex. 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".

Former mills, Redhill Street, Manchester
A tremendous sequence of former cotton mills most of which were once part of James McConnel and John Kennedy's empire, which became the largest in Manchester. Royal Mill was built in 1911-13 and Sedgwick Mill (by William Fairbairn) was begun in 1818. In the empire of their rivals, Adam and George Murray, was Decker Mill (with its chimney), built in 1801-02. Grade II*/II listed.

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).
