List of textile mills in Cheshire#Congleton

File:Quarry Bank Mill.jpg

This is a list of the silk, cotton and other textile mills in Cheshire, England. The first mills were built in the 1760s, in Styal by Samuel Greg using the Arkwright system and were powered by the water of the River Bollin. There were significant early cotton mills; Cheshire was an important centre of the silk industry. Parts of Cheshire have been subsumed into Stockport and Tameside.

Its original iron water wheel was designed by Thomas Hewes and built between 1816 and 1820. The over head shafts above the machines were attached to the water wheel by a belt. When the water wheel turned, the motion moved the belt and powered the machine. |File:Quarry Bank Mill - geograph.org.uk - 1324600.jpg||1784|1959|Standing }}

The Swindells family dominated cotton spinning in Bollington. They operated or owned Ingersley Vale Mill from 1821, Rainow Mill from 1822 both until 1841. They built the Clarence Mill with their partners the Brooke family in 1834, and extended it in 1841, 1854 and 1877. Thomas Oliver & Sons were at the Higher and Lower Mill from 1832 until 1859 and at the Waterhouse Mill from 1841. The Greg family from Quarry Bank Mill and later Reddish leased the Lower House Mill in 1832. The Swindells went on to build the Adelphi Mill in 1856.{{Harvnb|Calladine|Fricker|1993|p=107}}{{cite web |url=http://happy-valley.org.uk/history/historian_author.htm |title=Happy Valley; History |website=happy-valley.org.uk |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110817163348/http://happy-valley.org.uk/history/historian_author.htm |archive-date=2011-08-17}}

||The Firm of "Thomas Oliver & Sons" began, in what was known as "The Bollington Mills" i.e. the "Higher Mill" formerly a Brewery, and the "Lower Mill" afterwards a paper mill. These were leased from Mr Harrop of Stockport, and Mr Creswick of Sheffield, both solicitors. Waterhouse Mill was built in 1790 by Peter Lomas, and acquired by the Olivers through marriage to Mary Lomas. It took water by a leat from the River Dean weir to a mill pond which drove a 23 ft waterwheel, the water passed through a sough (culvert) back into river at the Garden Street bridge.. The first mill burnt down in 1799 and was rebuilt in 1800 and enlarged in 1838. The mills started with jennies, then by 1799 were ordering mules with 216 spindles. The firm produced the finest cotton counts by 1860, they were spinning 220s, and by 1886 420s. In this year ring doubling was introduced. Power was initially by water but a supplementary beam engine was added- and these were replaced in 1906 by a Musgraves horizontal. In 1898 Thomas Oliver & Sons became a part of The Fine Spinners & Doublers Association which was set up to enable cotton mills to trade collectively and benefit from the increased scale. They owned the trademark Happy Valley, and during the First World War made fabric for aeroplane wings and before the second war the thread used for the sports clothes of the England Cricket Team during an Ashes tour to Australia.| ||1791|1960|1962|}}

The lodge was enlarged, creating Clough Pool in 1803 by Edward Collier. This powered two waterwheels placed above each other. An 18hp steam engine was also present. The mill changed ownership in 1811 and was damaged by fire in 1819. The buildings on the site at this time included a spinning block, owner's house, a warehouse, a smithy and a apprentices house for paupers. The mill was rebuilt by August 1821 by Thomas Gaskell of Ingersley Hall who became a partner with Martin Swindells. By 1826, there were 330 power looms. The Swindells took full control of the site in 1830. In 1842 when James Leigh took over and cotton spinning ceased. The buildings were converted to printing calico, the wheelhouse was rebuilt and a single {{convert|56|ft|m}} diameter wheel was installed, the second largest in Britain. By 1874, the mill had converted to a dyeworks. A J King ran a bleachworks between 1878 and 1929. The first floor of the spinning mill was removed and in 1895, the water wheel was converted to drive a dynamo and all the processes were powered by electric motors. In the later 20th century, the site was sold to Slater, Harrison & Co. and used as letterpress and litho printworks. A fire in November 1999 destroyed the roof and floors of the original mill building and it is currently under restoration.[http://happy-valley.org.uk/history/mill-ingersley.htm Happy Valley Heritage Centre] }}

=Congleton=

Congleton had England's third oldest silk-throwing mill and spun both cotton and silk. Its prosperity depended on tariffs imposed on imported silk. When the tariffs were removed in the 1860s, the empty mills moved over to fustian cutting. A limited silk ribbon weaving industry survived into the 20th century, and woven labels were still being produced to the 1990s. Many mills survive, as industrial or units.[http://www.dmoore.org.uk/bdghs/2007.htm#24 Fustian Mills Talk] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150403005943/http://www.dmoore.org.uk/bdghs/2007.htm |date=3 April 2015 }} Lyndon Murgatroyd 2007

Brook Mills and the Stonehouse Green Mill formed a group on the Howty Brook as it approached the River Dane. They came into joint ownership in 1852. Brook Mills started as a cotton spinning and silk throwing and weaving site in the late 18th Century. The five storey building, constructed in 1835, was used for Jacquard weaving. Stonehouse Green Mill was used for short-silk and cotton spinning, but by 1853 the buildings were used for long-silk spinning.

The Reade family was established as cotton manufacturers in Congleton by the end of the 18th century. George Reade d 1837 moved into silk spinning early in the 19th century; George Reade and Son, silk men and silk throwsters, are recorded in Pigot's Directory of 1822. By 1833, the Company's business was described as silk spinners, at Stonehouse Green. In 1834, 3 of his sons established the business of Reade Brothers and Co, silk throwsters and manufacturers of silk goods, also at Stonehouse Green. By 1846 the business was described as silk spinning and working of waste silks. Folkspeare used the mill for tie manufacture from 1941.

By 1850 the Reade family ceased to be involved in the business and the name of the firm was changed to Reade and Co in 1852. National Archives.

WH Bossons Ltd occupied and then owned all of the Brook Mills buildings from 1949 to 1997 to manufacture plaster cast figures which were exported all over the world. The smaller and earlier of the two mill buildings lost its historic importance when converted into apartments. The larger 1835 mill was badly neglected for many years, and was eventually demolished leaving only the unique 'drop-shute' toilet to stand as a reminder of this historic building.

There is also a building adjoining and connecting with the mill of 3 storeys in height and measuring 26' 6" long by 17' 9" wide.

The second mill had a larger footprint but was only 3 storeys.

The mill, however, was also occupied by Condura, a subsidiary company of Conlowe Ltd a limited liability company in 1930 (Congleton Chronicle 1932). The company known for 'Judy Frocks' occupied part of the mill, and initially employed around thirty people which grew to 100 people.

It used an internal water wheel to power Italian silk throwing machines. It was notable for its size, and for the involvement of James Brindley in its construction. The mill was extended and a beam engine added c.1830, but it was partially demolished in 1939. When, in 2003 the remaining structures were demolished a full archaeological survey was done.

The first silk mill which is the largest and most conspicuous structure in Congleton, is built of brick, with a pediment containing the dialplate of a clock in the centre. It is 240 feet long, 24 feet wide and 48 feet high, consisting of five storeys, and is lighted by 390 windows

1822. Eleven circular throwing machines were housed on the ground floor with winding machines above.In 1771 it employed 600. This was extended by another 17 bays in 1830. The Pearsons bought the mill from the Patinsons in 1830. In 1935 it suffered from subsidence, and Roldane Mill was built for some of the equipment. In 1939, the top three storeys were removed. It continued in use until 1996. It was demolished in 2003.
