Mill Building at Murray's Mill, Jersey Street, Manchester, Greater Manchester

This mill building was built in 1804. It was part of a large complex known as Murray's Mill. It was built in three phases between 1798 and 1806 and is now the oldest mill in Manchester. It was the largest and one of the most innovative mills in the town. The four multi-storey blocks were built around an enclosed canal basin linked to the Rochdale Canal by a tunnel. This building is also important as a now rare example of early non fireproof construction.
