Winterbutlee Mill, Walsden
This former cotton mill dates to about 1861 and remained in use until 1962 when it passed into use as Gordon Rigg's garden centre. This business has expanded to occupy the former Bottoms and Jubilee Mills on the opposite side of the road behind the photographer. The chimney has been shortened and some of the mill has been demolished.

Bottoms Mill, Walsden
The building to the left of the watercourse and the tall chimney with an oversailing cap are all part of a former cotton mill known as Bottoms Mills. This is now part of the Gordon Rigg's garden centre empire. The building on the right is part of Jubilee Mill and that too is part of the Gordon Rigg's empire. Unfortunately the lighting was awful.
