🧵 Brownsfield Mill

Brownsfield Mill is a Grade II* listed former room and cotton-spinning power mill on Binns Place in Ancoats, an area of Manchester, England. Built around 1825 and later extended to form an L‑shaped plan, it retains what is considered the oldest surviving mill chimney in the city. After its early decades as a cotton‑spinning mill under a succession of occupiers, the building housed the A. V. Roe and Company aviation works in the 1910s. Following further periods of varied industrial use, it was restored in the 21st century, with redevelopment completed as the Avro residential scheme.
