The cotton-spinning mill of A & G Murray, established in the Ancoats area of Manchester during the final years of the 18th century, is one of the most important surviving steam-powered cotton mills in the world.
While much of the historic fabric of the area from this period has since been lost to redevelopment, the long-term future of A & G Murray’s mill was secured through a programme of structural repairs in response to major regeneration initiatives.
OA North carried out a survey which integrated archaeological and historical evidence to provide vital new information on the development of the cotton-spinning industry in Manchester.
