Description: Failsworth Mill (?) This mill is opposite the better known Regent Mill in Failsworth. Owen Ashmore lists it as Failsworth Mill but I can't find it in Gurr and Hunt (The Cotton Mills of Oldham). I reckon late Victorian. Chimney has gone but the boiler house (room for two Lancashire boilers), engine house (money on a horizontal cross compound) and rope race survive. The sloping section above the engine house indicates a rope drive and the metal plates in the square section indicate the bearing boxes for the shafts driving the two upper floors. You can divine a lot just by looking. I would welcome any further information.
