The Manor Mill still survives today but the Kent Mill has been demolished. The Hawthorn Mill went around 1972.

This was an ill-fated artificial silk mill. I stumbled on the image and was interested in the name. A couple of Google searches later I had found some of its history which I have attached to the image.

A lovely view of Regent Mill and adjacent mills at Failsworth. This is there there although no longer a coton mill of course. It had a Buckley & Taylor of Oldham engine.

Sorry about the last comment, the narrow end of the pond is indeed a canal, but after a few hundred yards alas it is no more. Plenty of clues though, 'The Moorings' with nowhere to moor just past the end the water that's left. All the remnants have been filled in and given over to walkways

Many industrial town images from the air feature textile mills. Some are quite impressive and are seen at work, often in the 1920s. The Argyll Mill shown in the group header was where my grand father was mill engineer until the early 1960s in charge of the mill's mighty steam engines (built by George Saxon of Openshaw).
