Westwood Mills is a grade II listed building built in 1798 used for wool processing. In 2005 the new owners of the mill were given concent to convert the buildings for residential use which has yet to happen. It was originally powered by water via a millpond before a boiler and engine was installed. The canal runs parallel which was used to transport goods but as the 19th century saw changes to the mill, the canals were disused as faster transport was introduced and the mill was modernised.

It now sits rotting and vandalised, when we were visiting there were even children playing in the grounds, they'll be lucky not get hurt with the condition it's in.

The 85hp water turbine manufactured by William Gunther and Sons, Oldham. I couldn't get any proper decent images of this as fencing has been placed around it.
