Description: Butts Mill, Leigh - Cotton spinning mill designed by Stott & Sons of Oldham. The plain brick end wall gives the game away - this was designed with the intention of being doubled in size but it never happened. The mill engine was big enough to do a double mill and you can see the end of the engine house overlaps the end of the mill. There were several examples of this and Pear Mill, Bredbury is an example that springs to mind.
