Elm Street Mill. Built in 1880 as a room-and-power-mill (ie for rent) it was owned by W Melland & Co and leased to four weaving firms. The mill consisted of a three storey block with engine and boiler houses, and a single storey weaving shed. An octagonal chimney was built next to the engine house. A replacment cross-compound engine of 1926 built by Galloways Ltd of Manchester for this mill is now in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry as it was the the last reciprocating steam engine to power a textile mill. The mill closed in 1967. Most of the weaving shed and front block survive along with the truncated chimney, but the three-storey block was demolished in the late C20. '
