Astley Bridge Mill, Grade II listed cotton mill in Bolton, England.

The Astley Bridge Mill features a rectangular floor plan with five stories, steel-concrete construction, red terracotta details, and a copper-domed stair tower.

Constructed in 1926 for Sir John Holden & Sons Ltd, this industrial structure stands as the final cotton spinning mill established in Bolton's manufacturing era.

The mill exemplifies the transformation of industrial architecture through its Art Deco design elements and modern construction methods of the 1920s period.

The building now contains residential apartments while maintaining its external characteristics, including the original unglazed window frames that function as balcony screens.

This mill pioneered the direct use of electricity from local power stations, eliminating the traditional requirement for an on-site boiler house and chimney.
