Here’s one of Lancashire’s oldest textile mills that was taken down stone by stone in November 1992.

The former Holdsworth Brothers’ China Lane mill, off Higher Bridge Street, was built in 1820 but spinning had taken place on the site since the 1700s.

Owners blamed the flood of cheap textile imports for the mill’s closure in April 1990.

The fine Pennine gritstone was to be resurrected on a site off Barrow Bridge Road, opposite the Barrow Bridge chimney landmark
