Built 1907 with a nominal capital of £100k. Mule spinning with 150,000 spindles on mules by Dobson & Barlow. Engine was a Carels of Ghent and of adequate size for a double mill. the floors are reinforced concrete rather than earlier brick jack arches. Reference is Roger Holden (1998) - Stott and Sons, Architects of the Lancashire Cotton Mill.

Designed by Stott & Sons and built in 1905. This is one half of an intended double mill, hence the very plain end wall. The projecting engine house overlaps the end wall and housed a massive horizontal cross compound by Carel Freres of Belgium. The chimney has been truncated. In the distance is the full height chimney of Leigh Spinners Ltd. The mill was built for cotton spinning but is now in other usage.
