Howe Bridge Mill
Howe Bridge Cotton Spinning Co was registered in 1868 and built four mills in Atherton. By 1891 it was the fourth largest cotton spinning firm in Lancashire and by 1922 had raised capacity to 700,000 spindles. The last mill, seen here in the background, was built in 1919. It closed as a textile factory in early 1999.
