Wear Mill, Grade II listed cotton mill in Stockport, England
The mill occupies a notable position along the River Mersey, with red brick walls and six floors featuring large industrial windows and cast iron columns.
Founded in 1790, the mill included two multi-storey spinning facilities and underwent significant renovations in 1831 following a destructive fire incident.
The mill operated 900 looms and 60,000 spindles by 1892, representing the industrial development that shaped the economic landscape of northern England.
The structure forms part of a new residential development with 253 homes, incorporating retail spaces ranging from 964 to 5,962 square feet.
The Stockport Viaduct, constructed in 1840, spans directly over the mill's engine house, creating an architectural intersection of industrial heritage structures.
