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.
This mill is right across the river from my second favorite pizza place in Westford. I have been eating here for about three months, but I had never really noticed the mill before.
Salt's Mill is in the World Heritage Site of Saltaire. It was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1851 and was a textile mill. The model village of Saltaire was built to house the workers at the mill. Sir Titus provided everything his workers would need. There was a hospital, churches, a library and meeting hall, a gym, shops, a wash house and alms houses. The only thing he wouldn't allow was a public house!
Like most of the textile mills in Bradford, Salt's stopped producing cloth in 1986 and is now more well known as an art gallery showing the works of Bradford born David Hockney.

The Saxon Mill is a former mill at Guy's Cliffe, Warwickshire, England, situated about one mile northeast of the town of Warwick. It is now a restaurant and bar. It is on the River Avon and it has a waterwheel.
The mill was originally called Gibbeclive Mill in the 12th century. It was the property of St Mary's Abbey, Kenilworth and the Augustinian canons until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was rebuilt in 1822. It was a working mill until 1938, and it was converted into a restaurant and bar in 1952. As of 2008, the restaurant has a glass window cut-away in the floor where the water can be seen flowing under the building.
Donisthorpes Friars Mills after the fire. The roof and the attic floor have gone, but the building seems structually ok. Certainly still salvageable.
Aizlewood's Mill, Nursery Street, Sheffield. I think this building often goes un-noticed which is a shame, as it's fantastic.
Aizlewood’s Mill was built in 1861 on the site of the former nursery gardens of Sheffield Castle and alongside Sheffield’s first railway the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire which carried grain from the cornfields of Lincolnshire. Sheffield's first railway station was adjacent to Aizlewood's Mill's car park.
The building is a particularly fine example of the prestige buildings of the period with cast iron columns supporting heavy timber beams to provide a framework for a substantial brick building with many attractive architectural features.

The first mill on the site on Bryant Creek was built by William Holeman in 1861. Alva Hodgson bought the mill in 1884. The original burned and Hodgson built a new one in 1894 and, in 1898, his brother George Hodgson became operator and part owner of the mill.
The mill was built over a spring that is reported to produce 28,900,000 gallons of water a day. This water stays a constant 58 degrees year round.

Once disused the Ancoats Mills Complex was at the heart and soul of Manchester’s industrial community – a time now long gone. The imposing mills produced products like cotton, glass and chemicals and were affectionately termed “the workshop of the world”. What is now Anita Street was previously known as Sanitary Street, due to its row of dedicated workers’ residences, which were always kept in spick and span condition

This mill was built on the hillside near the Eureka Mine in 1909. Powered by gasoline engines, the mil pulverized the ore, then chemical processes using mercury and cyanide extracted the gold. The mill site and surrounding mines were originally part of Shorty Harris's claim, which he sold to the Cashier Mining Company. Pete Aguereberry later bought the mil site, adding to the seven Death Valley mining claims he already owned.
