Bamber Bridge Spinning & Weaving Company Mill

History

Opened in 1907, this was perhaps the most spectacular of the local mills, and with

135,000 spindles it was one of the largest in the Preston district. Though the great
tapering chimney is long gone, the spectacular mill engine house (3000hp) survives at the
rear of this essentially modern steel-framed building. The mill’s closure was announced in
1959.
Top of the tower, all that remains of Orr's Mill, School Lane. This was originally the top part of the tower of the Bamber Bridge Spinning & Weaving Company mill, Wesley Street. A similar dome had adorned Orr's mill.

But all of is now being demolished and now only stands is the tower were the dome used to be on. Since the rest of the building is going, the demolistion has been put on hold until they remove the arials on it.
