Cavendish Mill, Ashton-under-Lyne, Cotton mill near Ashton Canal, Greater Manchester, England
The six-story brick building features an octagonal staircase wrapping around the chimney stack, with large nine-pane windows under blue brick lintel bands.
Built between 1884 and 1885 for the Cavendish Spinning Company, the mill introduced concrete floors supported by steel girders, marking an advancement in industrial construction.
The Grade II* listed structure embodies the textile manufacturing heritage of northern England, representing a period of rapid industrialization during the Victorian era.
The mill building now contains 165 apartments and commercial units following its transformation into a community resource center by Sanctuary Housing Association in 1994.
The mill operated until 1934 for cotton spinning, then transitioned to winding artificial silk from synthetic fibers under the management of Bentinck Street Silk Works.
