[35595] Bolton : St Helena Mill

St Helena Mill, Pool Street, Bolton, Greater Manchester.

Grade ll listed.

 

This eleven-bay steam-powered mill was built in the late 1820s with four storeys and an attic. It stands partly on the site of an earlier water-powered cotton mill of 1777. From the late 1830s it was occupied by Robert Walker and used for cotton waste spinning, probably on mules. Its continued use as a cotton waste mill probably explains the survival of the building. The site also included two red brick extensions of 1897 & 1906. The mill continued to be used for cotton waste spinning until 1979 and by 1999 the two extension had been demolished and the mill refurbished.
