Demolition

This it all that remains of the Bamber Bridge Spinning & Weaving Company Mill on Wesley Street.
The cotton mill opened in 1907 and was one of the larges in the Preston area with 135,000 Spindle, it closed in 1959 with the decline of the British cotton industry, many attempt have been made to save the building all failed, it is coming down to make way for 200 new homes
