Nice doggy!
The base of the chimney and evidence of various engine rooms and a glassed in rope race just above the chimney's pedestal. I can't remember if the dog was a problem or not.

Houldsworth Mill
Looking along Rupert Street, towards Houldsworth Mill.
Houldsworth Mill, also known as Reddish Mill, is a former mill built in 1865 at the height of the cotton production boom in the north-west of England. It was constructed for Henry Houldsworth, a prominent mill owner at the time. As well as a mill, Reddish boasts a road, a large pub and the main town square all named in his honour.
Cotton production at Houldsworth Mill ceased in the 1950s. The mill was sold to the John Myers mail-order catalogue company and was used principally as a warehouse. Mail-order trading ceased in the 1970s, and the mill was divided into separate business units, but most of the building remained vacant and it fell into a state of disrepair.
Since 1998, Houldsworth Mill has undergone substantial renovation and restoration financed by local business organisations, the local town council and by grants from English Heritage3, and similar organisations, such as the Prince's Trust. The extension to the rear of the mill accommodates several businesses, and the second floor contains a Craft Village. The north end of the mill comprises a modern business centre and a large conference centre.
The mill is currently a Grade II* listed building.
