Centenary Mill, Preston
Seen down the alley behind Stefano Road. The mill has been converted to apartments and the roof is new with light wells. Interesting, the end elevation shows two clearly different styles of decoration and fenestration. The wheely bin is a modern curse!

Alliance Works, Preston
This works with its square brick chimney has been replaced by a housing development. I believe this view was from the car parking area behind Centenary Mill. I would appreciate any assistance with the location. Alliance Works was a cotton weaving mill with large sheds to the rear.
