Description:View of Cheddleton Silk Mill from the north west, with the Caldon canal to the right. The stone ground floor is part of an older building which was converted into a silk factory in the late 18th or early 19th century, when two additional brick-built storeys were added.
By 1838 the factory contained 180 dozen spindles for throwing silk and 7 nearly new looms, all powered ny a 6 horsepower steam engine. By 1855 the factory had ceased operation.
