Murray Mills
Hob Uid: 1302010
Location : Manchester Non Civil Parish
Grid Ref : SJ8510098600
Summary : Murray's Mills comprises two groups of well preserved cotton spinning mills located between Redhill Street to the South and Jersey Street to the north. The earliest and largest part of the site, bounded by Murray Street to the west and Bengal Street to the east, was built in three phases between 1798 and 1806 and is now the oldest extant mill in Manchester. It was the largest and one of the most innovative mills in the town, the four multi-storey blocks being built around a enclosed canal basin linked to the Rochdale Canal by a tunnel. The second group of mills to the east of Bengal Street comprises three later phases linked to the original site by tunnels beneath the street.
