One from earlier this month recently released for public consumption
History
The site was originally a cotton mill dating back to 1795.
A fire in 1806 necessitated rebuilding the mill, which was then constructed with a cast iron framework and brick vaulted ceilings.
The mill was leased by the Simpsons in 1866 and later purchased by Mr. C.H. Cowlishaw in 1932. By 1934, William Tatton & Co. had acquired it and shifted production to silk.
In 1980, Mayfield Yarns took over the mill and began producing synthetic yarns, which continued until recently.
The site is currently being demolished.
