Nook Mill, Syke
Constructed in the 19th century as a woollen mill and taking its name from the nearby Nook Farm, Nook Mill was producing belting by 1910 and continued to do so until closure in the 1980s. Seen here from the upper storey of 48 Scarr Drive. Today the site is occupied by a small cul-de-sac called Mill Nook.

Fieldhouse Mills, Rochdale ? 7
The 1900 multi-storey mill, possibly a finishing area rather than a spinning mill. The apparent pointed distortion of the building is due to the fact that the corner of the building actually makes quite an acute angle!

Loading bay of the 1900 building. The extended hoist beam in the left hand arch would have allowed loading and unloading into railway wagons on a siding running alongside the building.

John Bright's Fieldhouse Mills, Rochdale, Lancashire
By 1971 the left-hand mill was disused and partially demolished, but Bright's continued to use the other mill (with stack). Bright's were always regarded as a good firm to work for - they provided, for instance, a creche where babies and small children could be looked after while their mothers were at work.

John Bright's Fieldhouse Mills, Rochdale, Lancashire
John Bright was a mill owner, sometime MP for Rochdale, and a social reformer. He believed that factory workers should enjoy reasonable work conditions and made sure that was the case for his own workers. The two brick-built factories shown here were owned by John Bright and sons; the left hand one, with the flag, became redundant shortly after this 1967 view and was pulled down. The houses are in Joy Street, and the photograph was taken from the first floor window of a house in Scarr Drive.

The 1900 mill with tower, seen from Whitworth Road. The mill was home the carpet manufacturers John Bright & Sons. This appears to have been the final major development on the site.
