Anglo Scotian Mills, Victorian textile mill in Beeston, United Kingdom
The Anglo Scotian Mills building features four stories with castellated entrances, slate-covered hip roofs, and traditional English bond brickwork throughout its structure.
Built in 1892 after two major fires, the mill produced lace and Scottish knitwear under Francis Wilkinson's leadership until manufacturing operations ceased in 2000.
The building earned its local name 'The Barracks' due to its industrial architecture with castle-like front and rear entrance designs in Nottinghamshire.
The structure now contains 104 residential apartments and commercial units following a £6.3 million renovation project completed in 2007.
The mill's transformation preserved original Victorian features while incorporating a modern glass staircase that provides views across Beeston.
