Butts Basin, 1976
Although the basin itself has changed little in the past 30 odd years the dominating bulk of Alder Mill, then operated by Courtauld Viyella, has long since vanished.

The remains of Alder Mill, Leigh
Alder Mill was a large 5 storey spinning mill built in 1907 and powered by a 1800 horsepower Browett, Lindley inverted vertical triple expansion engine. This office cum gatehouse with the gates alongside is all that remains. I saw this mill in 1980 but didn't 'waste' any film on it.

Alder Mill
This ornate office building is all that remains of the large Alder Mill, designed by Stotts of Oldham in their trademark terracotta style. Despite the visible date, the mill was apparently built in 1905.

White Street and Leigh Spinners Mill
The mill is a very large double mill with the boiler house and chimney between Mills Nos. 1 and 2. This view just shows an end on view of No. 2 Mill with the chimney beyond. This is the best surviving mill complex in Leigh and also houses a large mill steam engine of 1800 horsepower that is now being restored.
