Howe Bridge Mills, Atherton
A large complex of cotton spinning mills developed from the 1870s to the 1920s and remaining in textile production until 1999. Also on site is Unit 1 from 1978 that was probably the only new building for cotton spinning since the 1920s but not distinguishable from other modern industrial buildings.
This site has now been cleared and the positions are based on my earlier submission. Demolition occurred in 2014 and houses now stand on this site.

Ena Mill, Atherton
A very complete Edwardian spinning mill built in 1908 of red and yellow brick with terracotta decoration. This is a spectacular survivor that is now in other retail usage. It is a grade II listed building. The railings on the right are in front of the mill's lodge (condenser cooling water pond) and this is in itself a now unusual survivor. The projecting building in front of the chimney is the former engine house and I think this almost certainly contained a horizontal four cylinder engine with rope drive. I have been unable to find out anything about this engine.
