Description:This is the Portland Street frontage of the Portland Mills of A.J. Worthington & Co. Ltd. Portland Street connects Ashbourne Road with Buxton Road. The big metal framed windows were inserted in the late 1940s to get more natural light into the ground floor ring-doubling (twisting) room.
