Ellenroad Ring Mill, Newhey
Up for sale and closed up. The only parts to survive are the engine house, boiler house, pump room and chimney. The rest is history. This led to a "get off my land" moment with a bare-chested youth. The picture was worth it though.

Ellenroad Ring Mill
Built as a mule spinning mill with a four cylinder triple expansion engine. It suffered an horrendous fire and was rebuilt in 1921 as a ring spinning mill. That required more power and the engine was rebuilt as a more powerful twin tandem with about 2,500 horsepower.

This is two images stitched together to give a panoramic view of
