Kearsley Mill, Cotton mill in Prestolee, Bolton, England
Kearsley Mill features a red brick construction with cream accents, steel frame structure, and five stories plus basement across 240,000 square feet.
The mill, constructed between 1904 and 1908 for the Kearsley Spinning Company, operated until 1965 through periods of industrial growth and decline.
The Grade II listed structure stands among over 100 Lancashire mills, representing the architectural and technological progress of Edwardian textile manufacturing.
The building now functions as headquarters for multiple businesses while maintaining textile manufacturing and distribution operations through Richard Haworth Ltd.
The mill generated its own electricity through steam turbines and implemented a group drive system where each motor powered multiple machines through line shafting.
