Chadderton, Oldham
A fairly typical image of the sort of building frequently found in this part of the northwest of England. Formerly a Cotton Mill, now home to a business that manufactures electronic components.
(Edit Nov. 2011. Gem Mill, built 1901, demolished 2008. In 1942 Ferranti Ltd acquired the Mill for design and manufacture of electronic valves and, in time, semiconductors. This part of the Ferranti company was sold in 1998 and became Zetex Semiconductors.)

Gem Mill, Chadderton
Built 1901 of slightly darker brick than the accrington red brick that is so prevalent. Needs about 0.2 degrees anticlockwise rotation. I prefer this side as it shows chimney (not too severely truncated) and engine house to best effect. I reckon the new houses are on the site of the lodge (cooling pond).
The nearby Raven Mill has a more severely shortened chimney and has lost its enginehouse.
A visit on 16-2-2008 revealed that Gem Mill is no more and a housing estate is growing up where it was. I got a different angle on Raven Mill across the building site.

I reckon the new houses are on the site of the lodge (cooling pond). The engine was a horizontal twin tandem compound by George Saxon Ltd of Openshaw. The cylinders were 20" and 45" bores by 5' stroke. It developed 1700 horsepower at 60 revolutions per minute and drove the mill by 35 cotton ropes from the 26' diameter flywheel.
