Newtown Mills


In the centre of this view is Brunswick mill which was built c1872 when it was occupied by a number of cotton processing businesses. Following a disastrous fire in 1883 it was rebuilt and by 1890 was occupied by the Brunswick Mill Co Ltd (cotton spinners and doublers). In 1940 the sweet manufacturers Matlow Bros. Ltd and Swizzels Ltd moved to the mill from London to escape the blitz, and have continued to operate here ever since. In 1970 a major factory extension was added, and since 1975 they have traded as Swizzels-Matlow Ltd. The company is a major employer in the area and produces a wide range of sweets including Love Hearts and Parma Violets.
On the left side of the view opposite Brunswick Mill across the canal is Albion Mill which was built as a cotton mill in 1859. In 1872 it was occupied by John and Ellen Dalton, manufacturing glass and emery cloth. Boatloads of cullet were brought here from Manchester for processing until at laest 1935. In 1960 J and E Dalton and Co. Ltd was still listed here as emery cloth manufacturers, but after then a series of small businesses have occupied the premises.
The Peak Forest Canal can just be seen as it curves in from the left and then back left between the mills.
