Forty years on: west from Butts Bridge
Taken from the same place as Image] the differences are significant. The gable end incorporated into the apartments on the right bank of the canal may be original (though Chris Allen Image] suggests not), but nothing else remains. A complete transformation from industrial to residential. The Bedford High school alumni from the original picture are probably all grandparents now!

Butts Mill, Leigh
Cotton spinning mill designed by Stott & Sons of Oldham. The plain brick end wall gives the game away - this was designed with the intention of being doubled in size but it never happened. The mill engine was big enough to do a double mill and you can see the end of the engine house overlaps the end of the mill. There were several examples of this and Pear Mill, Bredbury is an example that springs to mind.
