Medlock Mill, Manchester
Apparently was both a Spinning Mill and a Weaving Shed
also Waterwheel ( supposed wier was for mill on opposite bank but I wonder if shared - with the wheel under the building ? ) and Steam Powered- see visual chimney in old photos but also map that seems to have chimney through centre of building ?
