Croal Mill in Bolton was built in 1908 to the design of Bradshaw and Gass for the Croal Spinning Company Limited. Cotton spinning ended in 1967 and the mill was later used as a mail order warehouse for Littlewoods. It is listed Grade II.
One of the few remaining large textile machines still to be found at the place of their operation. Once dozens of such units oparated in every factory in Lodz - now they are few and far between. For this reason I am very satisfied to have found this beauty and make some shots of it (along with some of her girlfriends from the same location).
The Bates Manufacturing Company was established in Lewiston, Maine in 1850 by Benjamin Bates. It quickly became one of the largest textile manufacturers in New England and transformed Lewiston from a struggling agricultural town into a booming industrial city. By 1857, the Bates Mill in Lewiston ran 36,000 spindles, employed 1,000 hands, and annually turned out 5.7 million yards of the best quality of cotton goods. Even after winning multiple achievements and awards for his textiles, including “Best Pantaloon Stuffs” and “Best Plain and Fancy Cotton Fabrics”, Bates wanted more. Accordingly, in 1858 the Bates Manufacturing Company wove the first Bates bedspread.
Upon the start of the Civil War, most New England mills started selling their cotton stock, assuming that the war would only last 90 days. Instead, Benjamin Bates bought as much cotton as he could find (despite the skyrocketing prices) and became the main supplier of Union textiles during the 4 year war. Even afterward, despite post-war depression, the Bates Manufacturing Company prospered and continued to expand. It was at this time that the French-Canadian population began to immigrate to Lewiston for work; even today the city of Lewiston continues to have a great French-Canadian influence (and many of the current mill workers have French-Canadian ancestors that began their American lives as mill workers).[Company website].
Lewiston is also the home of Bates College co-founded by Benjamin Bates.

Getting use to the buttons and wheels on my new camera by shooting objects around the house and in the house. I really liked the way this silk rose came out! I hope you do too. I liked the fact that you can see tiny patterns on some of the petals.
( A special thank you to all of my MM friends!!)
Lowell is a city in Massachusetts, in the United States. With Cambridge, Lowell is one of two traditional seats of Middlesex County.
Beginning in the early 19th century, the village grew to become a major centre of cotton textile manufacturing, with an abundance of waterpower from the Merrimack's Pawtucket Falls (32 feet [10 metres]) and the completion of the Middlesex Canal link to Boston in 1803
By 1840, the factories in Lowell employed at some estimates more than 8,000 textile workers, commonly known as mill girls or factory girls. ... The Lowell mills were the first hint of the industrial revolution to come in the United States, and with their success came two different views of the factories
