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.
