This is the beam engine house window in the 1858 block of this cotton mill complex. This contained a single cylinder beam engine that was later pusher compounded. Beam engine houses are usually very recognisable by the tall arched windows that differ from the other windows in a mill.

A large former cotton mill now used by an upholstery firm. On the left are Mills 1 and 2 of 1844 that shared an integral double beam engine house that is not visible from here. On the right is the 1858 block that has an integral single beam engine house that is also not visible. Next to the 1858 block are a possible later horizontal engine house and lower boiler house but there is no chimney now and I'm not entirely convinced by the architectural features.

This is a large former cotton mill complex that is still in use by an upholstery firm. The multi-storey block here is one end of Mills 1 & 2 of 1844. In front is a single storey north light shed that was probably a weaving shed. The gutter running along the front of this shed indicates the position of the valleys of the north light roof.
