"H" is for "Harper Mill" which is one of Ashton's former cotton spinning mills and dates from 1855.
There were more than 80 cotton mills in Ashton but now only a dozen or so remain, and these have all been converted to other uses.
Harper Mill has been converted into stylish modern apartments, complemented by an adjoining modern block to make best use of the site.
We saw a photo of Harper Mill from the other side last January and we saw the largest mill built in Ashton only a few days ago.
See Birds Eye View of this location.
