Peel Silk Mills

Photograph, taken May-June-1983, of interior and exterior of mill complex. On reverse and in the IND day book the photos are referred to as being of Peel Silk Mills in Westhoughton, and in some of the photos 'Peel Street' signs are visible. But in a few of the photos a church is visible in the background, which looks to be Trinity Church just outside Bolton town centre. Either the mill pictured is not actually Peel Silk Mills, or it is and a few photos were also taken of Trinity Church.
