Moor Lane Mill, Moor Lane, Lancaster, Lancashire
This oldest part of this mill was built in 1826. It was fireproofed in 1861. It was built for Samuel Greg & Co (of Styal), who bought an adjoining sailcloth mill (now demolished) in 1825. In 1832 a 12 horsepower Boulton and Watt engine was brought over from Greg's original mill at Styal in Cheshire. In 1861 the mill was bought by Storey Brothers, who probably added the fireproofing. It closed in 1982, the adjoining weaving sheds were demolished in 1986 and main mill building was converted to office use in 1989-90.
