Borough coat of arms on the tower on the front of Dukinfield Town Hall.

The Newmarket Tavern on King Street, Dukinfield, closed in 2006 and is now converted to flats. It still bears the name of the Openshaw Brewery Company on the frontage which was added to an older building at some point in its life. The plastic windows are unfortunate.

Completed in 1886 for Christian Koch, the Tower Mill in Dukinfield was designed by Potts, Pickup & Dixon. It had a capacity of 44,000 mule spindles and 5,000 twiner spindles. On Koch's death in 1895 the mill passed to The River & Tower Mills Co (Ltd in c1912). Ring spinning was introduced from 1930 and the mill ended cotton spinning in 1955 by when it contained 13,000 mule spindles and 24,000 ring spindles. It has had a range of uses since then and is currently empty and for sale.
