Lilac Mill, Shaw
Construction of this cotton spinning mill commenced in 1914 but was not finished until 1918 as the structure was blown down by a gale. The mill was initially requisitioned as an aircraft component factory but reverted to cotton spinning in 1919. The engine was a 2500 horsepower Buckley & Taylor steam engine driving 96,960 mule spindles and 38,520 ring spindles (in 1923). The mill ceased production in 1989 and is now a distribution centre for the N Brown Group. The original mill is a large building but is submerged by large modern warehouses.
