Description: Vigorous red brick with stone trim and some Baroque details such as the open pediment. Built by a Mr Porter of the Fine Cotton Spinners' Engineering Division, 1911-13. Underneath the brick is steel and concrete. Pevsner notes that the mill was "designed to house electrically powered mules, with electric motors housed in towers ... in the first generation of those purpose-built for electricity, which was supplied by the Corporation." Grade II* listed. Almost all the 'windows' here are not real but painted. The plan is to convert it to flats.
