Mavis Mill, Cotton spinning mill in Coppull, Lancashire, England
Mavis Mill is a cotton spinning factory in Coppull, Lancashire that housed multiple production buildings and industrial machinery. The facility processed raw cotton into yarn using mechanical looms and spinning equipment powered by steam engines.
The facility was built during the early 1900s when Lancashire was experiencing rapid industrial growth. After changing ownership, production ceased and the site was eventually converted into a different use.
The mill served as a major employer in a region defined by cotton production and textile work. Local communities relied on such facilities as central parts of their economic and social life.
The site requires visitors to understand that it no longer operates as an active factory and the buildings are not preserved as a working facility. Exploring the area is best done during daylight hours when the layout and remaining structures are most visible.
The factory was powered by a large steam engine with components that operated at specific mechanical speeds to keep spinning synchronized. This equipment represented cutting-edge mechanical engineering of its era.
