Likely Thomas Schofield's first purpose-built brewery and maltings - most buildings were still extant until late 2000s |

The Friendship Inn - one of Ashton's first micro-breweries - is at the western end of Old St, on the corner of Henry Sq. Built by Thomas Schofield and opened in 1827, his micro-brewery was soon expanded into the building at the back, which became the original Schofield's Brewery. The brewery later moved to a larger site nearby, on Bentinck St and was eventually incorporated into Robinson's Brewery.
As of 2013, the building's been empty for several years but it occupies a prime location in the St Petersfield re-development and is slated to be converted into offices. Such a pity it couldn't be sustained as a pub, but at least the splendid building will be retained. |

The original Ashton-under-Lyne Corporation Baths at the Henry Sq end of Stamford St were opened in 1870 (cost: £16,000). One of the first and largest municipal swimming baths, it was built in a Byzantine style and with a 120 feet high tower, which housed the flues from the steam-boilers and heaters. There were 2 pools, the larger of which measured 100' x 40'

The former Ashton Canal Company Warehouse, built in 1934, was mostly destroyed by fire in 1972 but was rebuilt, re-opening as a museum in '88. Following extensions and enhancements, it re-opened again in spring 1999 |

A major Wal-Mart Asda supermarket was moved here (from Oldham Road) by the v.early '80s and its construction necessitated that the Narrow Canal be covered with a long tunnel.
The canal re-emerges at Lower Wharf Street, behind the goods entrance of the supermarket, and continues on through Stalybridge |

Cavendish Mill, since converted into apartments, suffered a gas explosion in November 2001, killing a Mr Ian Brady, following negligence on the part of Transco (whom Manchester Crown Court fined £1M) |

Hello, I think you have the wrong building. This is Tudor Mill which burned to the ground. I watched it as a 10 year old kid. Cavendish Mill is the next mill to the east along the canal. |

Is this photograph Tudor Mill . The mill chimney is still standing and there are photographs of it on Wikipedia - but it is on the other side of Portland Basin. With the canal in front of you , Tudor mill is on the left of Portland Basin not the right . Portland Basin can be clearly indentified on the left of the above photograph as can other buildings like Ashton Baths - the square tower about three streets behind Portland Basin . |

The chimney still standing is from the Junction Mills. |
