I haven't been able to find much of the history of Cobden Mill, Farnworth. In 1891 it was owned by John Harwood and Son, cotton spinners. Today it is the headquarters of The Lighting & Interiors Group.

I suppose that these are best described as Romney Huts. They are the maintenance base of a haulage company.

The Shakespeare on Glynne Street, Farnworth, was built in 1926 for Bolton brewer Magee Marshall. The frontage is largely buff terracotta faience. It is listed Grade II for both the exterior and also the remarkably original interior.

There were once three mills on this site, but only the last two have survived. Lorne Street No.2 mill was erected in the late 19th century by Horrockses, Crewdson and Co, and was followed by the No.3 Mill in 1915. Both are listed Grade II and are now in multiple occupation.
