Description
A local landmark to my hometown, Middleton,Manchester, historically in the county of Lancashire.
Built 1910. a gradeII listed building. I think it is the only one still standing in the area.
Recently been purchased by property developers to be made into 1, 2, and 3 room appartments. I'm eager to know what the changes will bring.
I've been trying to find some history about the mill but have had no luck on any local sites.
Built during the height of the textile industries, Cotton and Silk, Lancashire was an area chosen for the manufacture of cotton materials because of the damp climate.

Great capture and POV i woldnt like to be the window cleaner of this building LOL, excellent well done.
excellent shot :)
NICE
Fascinating 'abstract' that the surface of the building makes.
A very imposing building and part of our heritage from the days of Cottonopolis .. I suppose they must have been bleak places to have had to work in.. But I can imagine that it may look somewhat different in differing light.. A place to return to ..
Hi Alan such intesting work makes one think awesome capture sweet weekend to you warm hug, Linda
WOW!!! This perspecktive is hypnotising!!! Looks more like a prison than a mill to me!! Great shot!!!
una bella captura amigo excelente toma
EXCELLENT! Such wonderfull perspective and great colors!
Love it, to bad you can't find a history for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent capture Alan, and a great pov, like Andrea has pointed out, it does make a great abstract. I had some pictures of this place from round the back, when I was based at the Millfold depot for the council, the bottom yard backed onto the mill and the river running through. Trouble is they were on my PC at work, I used to take thousands of pictures when I was working. I took that many they had to double my space on the server, I used to have twice as much hard drive as anybody else. Being work pictures most of them got destroyed when they retired me. You did OK with the light by the way. Bravo!!!!!
Your pov is stunning on this. The repetition of the windows so closely presented from this angle is dizzying. Fabulous shot, with or without history to give us.
So thats why it rained so much in my home county ...Lancashire. Good view point
great capture. wonderful perspective

Superb capture I must say, and great color tone you selected! perhaps if you enter the street address into Google with quotes on it, may produce some luck for you? this place is huuuuge! have a great weekend Alan!
A nice capture of this old, magnificent building Alan and great background info, even if you have trouble finding out more about the building, Sig...
this is wonderful
Great picture of history you have here. You might want to try your local historical society for information on the building.
I stayed in a hotel once, can't remember the name, Top end of Manchester near the square with all the fountains, that was an old cotton mill. They are great buildings, far too good to demolish. It's best to reuse them. This is a superb photo! Give one the real scale of the place!
very creative!5!
Wonderful capture of days gone-by architecture. It seems everything is being made into apartments and condos, these days, because they are so needed. Excellent capture and explanation to go with it. ;o)
nice capture...
Excellent render of this impressive piece of architecture. 5+++
