This cotton spinning mill at Hathershaw, Oldham, was originally built in 1860 and then rebuilt 1891 to the design of architect PS Stott. Production ceased in 1933 and the mill was used as an army barracks and then a demobilisation centre before becoming a mail order warehouse in 1953. It is now converted to business units.

The No.3 Mill in the Belgrave complex was built to the design of F. W. Dixon and Son in 1910. It was electrically powered from the start.Spinning ceased in 1960 after which it has been used for clothing production and later for the manufacture of foam, polyester and feathers for the furniture and clothing industries.

The use of a mosaic image removed the need to write the name of this Mill on its tower. Built for the Bell Mill Co. Ltd. to the design of the firm of Potts, Son, & Hennings in 1904 this mill has a completely different look to a Stott product.
