Leigh Spinners, Grade II* listed industrial building in Wigan, England

The red brick structure of Leigh Spinners stands four stories tall, featuring large windows that allowed natural light for textile production operations.

The mill began operations in the 19th century as part of Lancashire's textile manufacturing industry, contributing to the region's economic development through cotton and silk production.

The building represents the industrial heritage of Northwest England, where generations of workers maintained the textile manufacturing traditions through skilled craftsmanship.

Visitors can access guided tours of the preserved machinery and manufacturing spaces through advance bookings at the facility's main entrance.

The mill maintains its original steam-powered engine room, complete with functioning Victorian-era mechanisms that demonstrate industrial power generation methods.
