Cross Street Mills
This is one of the more decorative of the Leek silk mills, and includes this prominent panel with the name 'Brough, Nicholson and Hall', who were one of the larger silk firms. Building designed by Sugden & Son, around 1900. Grade II listed. Note how the building is tailored to fit the curves of the existing street layout rather than being a standard rectangular building.

Cross Street Mill
Near the centre of Leek.
The Stone plaque reads: Brough Nicholson & Hall Est. 1815. Though this building I would say is from about 30 to 70 years later than that. (See also the grid square discussion.)
The to let (sic) sign offers "Range of versatile self contained office/studio units with secure parking".
