Maple No. 1 Mill, Hathershaw.
Sorry about the slope. The stone wall contains the lodge (now in-filled). Form follows function beautifully with a vertical sided square corner pillar between two concave stone buttress walls. This solves the problem of where to put water on a hill. Of course mills by watercourses did not necessarily need lodges

Earl Mill, Hathershaw
Built 1860 but rebuilt 1891 - architect PS Stott. 90720 spindles. Engine 1891 was a Buckley and Taylor 1250 hp horizontal twin tandem compound, christened "Oldham" and "Manchester". Fitted with slide valves all round which was rather archaic by 1891. The engine house is just visible. Allotments in foreground - another great British institution (men and their sheds).
Am I boring anybody?

Maple Mills, Hathershaw.
On the right we have a mill with a big engine house for a horizontal engine and this is No. 2 Mill, of 1915. The Mill on the left has an engine house (out of view) for an inverted vertical and this is the earlier No. 1 of 1904. The lodge was retained by a huge stone dam as the mills are built on a hill. The lodge is filled level but the dam is still there.
