Mutual Mills


Three cotton spinning mills built for the Mutual Spinning Company. On the left is the No.1 Mill on which construction began in 1884. Next is the No.2 Mill which has a foundation stone dated 1891. Just visible at the right edge is the No.3 Mill, started in late 1914 but due to the war production did not start until 1922.
The completion of this mill made the company the largest cotton spinning firm in the district with a total of 246,000 spindles. The mills continued in operation until relatively late, switching from cotton production during the mid-20th century to incorporating woollen and artificial fibre spinning.
The design of the mills was by local architects. Potts, Pickup and Dixon (No.1), Potts, Son and Pickup (No.2) and Potts and Henning (No.3). This is reflected in the similarities between the three buildings.
