Osborne Mills
The courtyard showing the two engine houses. The further one is the older, but in latter days had the more modern engine. Very unusually this was a steam turbine, almost certainly replacing an earlier engine. The nearer (Mill No.2) housed a 1500 hp Hicks Hargreave cross-compound engine of 1913.

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.
