Hartford Mill, Oldham
Formerly Listed Grade II (really). Demolition occurred during 2020. The urban explorers had been all over it and the vandals had trashed it. There had also been arson attack and one death on the site.
Built 1907 by the Hartford Mill (Oldham) Co Ltd. Extended 1920 and 1924. Closed 1959 and used by Littlewoods as a mail order warehouse until 1992.
Architect was F W Dixon, there were 120,000 spindles and power was provided by a very impressive 1500 horsepower Urmson & Thompson engine that was housed in the projecting engine house on the left.

Hartford Mill, Oldham - Chimney
Seen from the end of Milne Street by a closed off entrance to the overgrown area by the mill. The mill is a former cotton spinning mill that was already derelict in 2008 and finally demolished in 2020 although it had been Grade II Listed. I am sorry to see Lancashire's textile heritage being steadily demolished.
