The link below shows a PDF booklet that was produced as part of the OA North survey. It is quite lengthy so this is why I have included it as a link.
“This booklet arises from the historical research and detailed surveys of individual mill complexes
carried out by OA North during the Lancashire Textile Mills Survey in 2008-15, a strategic project
commissioned and funded by English Heritage (now Historic England). The survey elicited the
support of many people, especial thanks being expressed to members of the Project Steering
Group, particularly Ian Heywood, for representing the Lancashire Conservation Officers, Ian
Gibson (textile engineering historian), Anthony Pilling (textile engineering and architectural
historian), Roger Holden (textile mill historian), and Ken Robinson (Historic England). Alison
Plummer and Ken Moth are also acknowledged for invaluable contributions to Steering Group
discussions. Particular thanks are offered to Darren Ratcliffe (Historic England), who fulfilled the
role of Project Assurance Officer and provided considerable advice and guidance throughout the
course of the project.”
