The sign tells you that you are entering Ashton under Lyne. However, this is not the view that most visitors see on their approach. This is the back way in to Ashton along Whitelands Road.

ReplyDeleteIs this the mill that had a giant lift? Used for aircraft wings during the war.

Does anyone know of a mill around here which produced wire gauze in the late 19th. century?
ReplyDeleteThe works manager John Cassidy took out a patent with George Bolden of Dukinfield (his boss, the millowner ?) in 1877 for "improvements in shuttles for weaving wire gauze". Cassidy was from Wigan & was living on Whitelands Rd. on the 1881 census but "manager of a cotton mill".
