Rochdale Spinning Co Mill
Built 1884, architect Joseph Stott. Later used by T W Riley and now demolished. I believe after researching various sources that the position is fairly close and hope I've got the direction right (at least I'm not pointing into the sun).

Crawford Mill, Rochdale
Thanks to Dr Neil Clifton I have been able to pin this down. It is apparently one of two mills known as "Crawford Mills". The canal is just in front of the concrete panelling and the ring road is just to the right of the shot. I photographed this at the same time as the nearby State Mill. The building was obviously in a poor state then and the satellite image shows a modern industrial building in this location.
