ASHWORTH MILL

20/10/2015

The ruins of Ashworth Mill photographed during our walk on 4 October 2015. I cannot find out much about this mill other than its name which appears on maps dating back to the mid/late 19th Century. We originally approached the mill from the West having took the wrong path which resulted in us being unable to cross the river. Quickly retracing our steps we were soon walking through the ruins.

The only major walls standing viewed as we approached the site.

View of the waterfall and part of a mechanism that probably worked the waterwheel.

Looking up at the wall from the river, this was once a substantial building but like other mill sites I have seen is slowly being reclaimed by nature.
Picture
Naden Brook heads South after passing the mill, this would at one time have supplied the power for the mill. Stones from the mill and retaining walls along the banking littered the stream bed.

Ref Ashworths Cotton Mill
I used to live In Bromley Cross and as a youngster, together with Adrian Leigh also of Bromley Cross, played and explored that area in the Eagley River valley
I could explain some interesting info regarding the waterfall and the canal on the opposite bank
Adrian Leigh was living in Shady Lane and if he is still around may have memories we shared of that mill

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
