Former Bee Mill, Royton
This apparently modern injection moulding works owned by Patterson and Rothwell is based in the remains of Bee Mill, Royton. You can make out the surviving lower two floors of the brick built mill. It was built by the Bee Spinning Co (Royton) Ltd in 1901 with 102,216 spindles on Platts machines. The engine was a 1500 horsepower by George Saxon. Production ceased in 1964 and it was then used for foam block manufacture. It was purchased by the local authority in 1985 and they removed the upper floors. It was used for a time by Slumberland but is now in use by P & R.
The brick chimney is on the adjoining Lion Mill that is substantially as built.
