Adelphi Mill and Macclesfield Canal at Bollington, Cheshire
This was built in 1856 for the spinning of cotton, and later silk. During the Second World War, spinning ceased and the production of parachutes took over. At the end of the sixties the Mill was bought by Britax for the production of webbing for motorcar seatbelts until the late eighties. The Mill was then sold and converted to offices and workshop uses.

Now where's my other extension?
This gentleman is standing on the towpath of the Macclesfield Canal, and has started his day's contract work cleaning the windows of the Adelphi Mill. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4314443 http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4314450
"Now I go cleanin' windows to earn an honest bob.
For a nosy parker it's an interestin' job!
Now it's a job that just suits me;
A window cleaner you would be,
If you can see what I can see
When I'm cleanin' windows!"
IT'S ALL LIES, I TELL YOU!! ;-(
