Osborne Street
Named after the mills on the right hand side. These are the oldest part of Osborne (No.1) Mill, clearly indicated by the architectural style with relatively small windows. Several stages of construction are visible. In the distance are the tower and chimney of Manor Mill.
The eagle-eyed will be able to make out (on the high resolution version) a bench mark incised into the corner stone just above and to the left of the road name plate.

Anchor Mill
Refurbished mill on Featherstall Road North. The tall window originally lit the engine house, which was internal rather than added on to the building. It housed a beam engine. The small building to the left is the boiler house. The white brick anchor motif in the chimney is unusual - normal practice was simply to show the name. The mill is Listed Grade II.
