Mill & Church - the two major influences
Well they once were. Mill six days a week and church on the seventh. The mill is already here in a more panoramic form. The back alley is much more "Corrie".

Devon Mill, Hollinwood
A very clean and tidy former cotton spinning mill. The architect was G Stott and it was built in 1908 by Devon Mill Ltd. There were 91,000 Asa Lees spindles and a 1200 horsepower George Saxon steam engine. Ceased production 1962 and used since as a mail order warehouse. The chimney has been shortened and the lodge (cooling pond) has disappeared.
This view shows the projecting engine house and free-standing chimney. The lodge was probably between the engine house/chimney and the fence in front of the photographer.
