Manchester Mill, Preston
The red brick block dates from a rebuilding in the early 1900s. A new engine house was added on the other side in 1921. In the foreground is a space where weaving sheds once stood.
Security in the white shirt was a little vexed by my activities but backed off when he realised I was only taking photographs. The mill was closed at this time and awaiting redevelopment.
Preston's millscape has been absolutely decimated in recent decades and this mill and the one immediately behind are now replaced by houses. One of the two chimneys on the left has also gone.

Manchester Mill, Owtram Street, Preston
Built in 1900, its towers crenellated for no reason.
Apparently defunct at the time, and facing obliteration in favour of a housing scheme.

Manchester Mill, Preston
In front to the left is the red brick pitched roof building of what was probably the last steam engine to be installed in a Preston mill - a 1921 Pollit & Wigzell horizontal cross compound of 650 horsepower. The red brick block dates from a rebuilding in the early 1900s. This part of the site is now a new housing development.
The engine of 1921 was works No. 901 with Corliss valve cylinders of 18" & 36" x 48". The flywheel drove by 14 cotton ropes. The engine ran at 81 revolutions per minute on steam at 160 pounds per square inch. The jet condenser and air pump were to the rear of the low pressure cylinder.
