The Arrow mill in Castleton, Rochdale is a massive old cotton mill. Fortunately, it is one of the few mills that have not been demolished over the last 50 years and is indeed Grade II listed. It is situated on the banks of the Rochdale Canal from where I took this shot of its most impressive chimney. Of course I was taken by the trees sprouting out at this very high part of the structure.
The mill no longer spins cotton helped along by its big steam engines with its 22ft diameter flywheel, as it did when it opened in 1908 but is now a storage depot, renting out space.

Worth looking at full screen.

Herb Riddle club has replied to TOZ clubGlad you liked it. Just something different from my Scottish landscapes.
Cheers, Herb
The history of the mill (and chimney) is fascinating...........thanks for sharing the link. It's good to see it's still in use today!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :-))
Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton clubI did like the lighting on the brickwork and was amazed to see these tree/scrubs growing high on its side.
Cheers, Herb
All the best, Rosa.
A very nice picture, which I like very much!
Fantastic web site you found too. I was very impressed by the description of the steam engine. Running slow won't wear the bearings and cylinder liners out so quick!!
Best Wishes, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter
