GV II
Originally a Throstle cotton mill, later (1890s) an integrated mill, now used for wholesale and miscellaneous purposes. 1855 (for the Massey family), enlarged in 1889, with later alterations. Coursed rubble; slate roofs. The mill buildings occupy a roughly triangular site bounded by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (to the north) and Trafalgar Street (to the south). PLAN/EXTERIOR: the 1850s mill L-shaped on plan, the longer range (running parallel to the street) double depth with paired gables to west, hipped (and possibly shortened) to east, containing carding engines and roving frames to ground, and mules to upper floors, the machinery now removed. The return range contained an integral engine house. 4 storeys. 7-stage tower (to south-east of original building) and 2-storeyed weaving sheds to east added in 1889. Street-side range 10 x 6 window bays, bays 8 and 9 projecting, windows with continuous lintel bands, mostly 6-pane casements, some altered, with a set of taking-in doors to centre of rear (north) gable wall. The rear elevation is similarly fenestrated, some windows blocked. Return wing with former engine house marked by tall round-headed window opening. Later range connects with canal. 1889 tower, 7 stages each with round-headed windows. Storeyed weaving sheds with roofs intact contained by quoined perimeter wall, the east elevation considerably altered. INTERIOR: disposition of iron columns reflects use of different machinery on upper and lower floors, with exceptionally wide aisles to top 2 storeys. The mill retains its original hoist gear, and is understood to contain an early sprinkler system.
