This must be the mill complex in Spodden valley.The river Spodden flows through the site on its way to the rivers Roche,Irwell and Mersey.If so,the asbestos and rubber works is the infamous Turner & Newall plant,source of recent controversy; Google Spodden Valley for details. On a lighter note,the river takes its name from a Saxon lord, Wolfric Spot, who would be amazed to know that a football stadium,Spotland,had been named after him. JohnF |
