Construction of the Pear Mill in Bredbury, Stockport, commenced in 1908 and it was finally completed in 1913 after significant financial difficulties. The mill was designed by Abraham Stott junior and his brother, Philip Sidney, was responsible for the finishing stages, including the office building. It incorporates a lot of terracotta decoration including numerous pear motifs. This is one of a number of pears adorning the enginehouse and chimney.
