Heron Mill, Hollinwood
Cotton spinning mill built 1905. Architect was P S Stott and there were 105,000 spindles turned by a 1400 horsepower inverted vertical cross compound steam engine by G Saxon of Openshaw. This is the end of the projecting engine house. The boiler house was probably at the lower level in front where there has been demolition. The chimney is long gone. The lodge (cooling pond) was to the left and now appears to have been filled in and turned into a car park. The engine had cylinders 27" and 56" bores by 4' stroke. It ran at 75 revolutions per minute and drove by 30 ropes from the 20' flywheel. The flywheel would have been line up with the large window and the rope race would be perpendicular to the long axis of the mill.

Royd Mill, Chamber Road, Hollinwood
This mill was built in 1907 and has now been demolished with housing built on the site. This shows the engine house that once held a J & E Wood of Bolton inverted vertical triple expansion steam engine. That was scrapped long ago but a small steam fire pump survived and is now at the Astley Green Mining Museum site. This was a fine Edwardian era mill and really deserved listing, especially as the chimney survived intact with its oversailing cap.
