I think I'm related to a Brook who owned this mill at some time. Is there any other relations doing the same enquiries?

Steam-powered silk-throwing mill built in 1840 to produce yarn from raw silk, but by 1872 also used for waste-silk spinning. Mill of 1840 a single-storeyed shed with cast-iron roof trusses and attached two-storeyed warehouse and office; dyehouse added by 1847. Change of ownership in 1890 led to major expansion of shed area, in particular to building of two sheds and new power plant to designs dated 1901-2 by Stott and Sons of Manchester. Associated buildings: workers' housing.
