Gem Mill, Chadderton

Built 1901 of slightly darker brick than the accrington red brick that is so prevalent. Needs about 0.2 degrees anticlockwise rotation. I prefer this side as it shows chimney (not too severely truncated) and engine house to best effect. I reckon the new houses are on the site of the lodge (cooling pond).

The nearby Raven Mill has a more severely shortened chimney and has lost its enginehouse.

A visit on 16-2-2008 revealed that Gem Mill is no more and a housing estate is growing up where it was. I got a different angle on Raven Mill across the building site.
