Broadstone Mill and Cottages
I assume that these cottages, on Broadstone Road, were originally built to house the workers at Broadstone Mill, which looms behind them.
Broadstone Mill, on Broadstone Road in Reddish was a double cotton spinning mill on the northern bank of the Stockport Branch Canal. The mills were started in 1903 and completed in 1907. They closed in 1957, and the southern mill and engine houses were demolished in 1965. The northern block is now part of the Houldsworth Village development. It is used as a centre for small businesses, and a shopping outlet.
