Ace Mill

Ace Mill
The Ace Mill was built in 1914 as the Gorse No.2 Mill, to the design of P.S. Stott. A 2000hp Urmson & Thompson engine was installed. Immediately requisitioned for aircraft production in WWI, cotton spinning did not begin until 1919 at which time it was renamed by the owners, Ace Mill Ltd. Later ownership included the Lancashire Cotton Corporation in the 1930s, and Courtaulds Ltd in 1964 until production ended in 1967. The mill is currently occupied by electrical equipment company MEM-Delta.
