Brooklands Mill, Leigh
Brooklands Mill, Leigh
A five storey spinning mill by the Bridgewater Canal and built in 1893 with a 1200 horsepower J & E Wood mill engine. Now in multiple occupancy. The chimney has been demolished. The large engine house is in the left background. The closer three storey section appears to be the mill's offices. They were often detached. There is a large and impressive door to the offices (seen in a separate photograph).
