The building you see is in fact on the same road as my mums house.....Beal Lane in Shaw, Oldham.
It is two old cotton Mills sat next to each other, one called the Lilac and one called the Briar.
There were 48 cotton mills during the cotton boom in Shaw....only 6 remain, these two being included.
My dad retired from Oldham Council at age 50 but was soon bored as my mum was out at work all day and so
he got a part time job at that very mill you see in the picture. It is now a JD Williams Mail Order Catalogue Warehouse.

The car park you see me on in the picture has now gone and is the entrance to another Mail Order Company, Littlewoods.
