{{TMtr| Chapel Hill Mill || {{coord|53.4791|-2.0877|display=inline|region:GB|format=dms}} |<ref>{{Harvnb|Haynes|1993|p=38}}</ref>|Erected about 1792, its original purpose was probably a warehouse, it was first described as a mill in 1803 when it ia assumed that a steam engine had been installed and in 1811 it ran 4320 mule spindles, It was run as a separate concern and combined with Oxford Road Mills. In 1833 it had a 12hp steam engine. It stood empty for some years and working again in 1850. In 1854 it was damaged by a boiler explosion. By 1864 it had become a combined mill, but by 1874 spinning stopped and in 1884 it was a weaving shed with 428 looms. In 1886 it was taken over by John Henry Gartside and Co and occupied until 1908.

By 8111 it was occupied by Buckley & Binns and ran 5760 mule spindles, it was exernded in 1818 and again in 1824. The owner was was Cyrus Armitage, and then in 1826 by Robinson and Armitage.Power loom weaving started here in 1828, and in 1833 we know 173 people were employed here, 76 were spinning 36/40 counts and rest were power weaving. It was in this year that a stream engine was brought in to supplement the waterwheel that gave between 8ph and 20hp. Weaving was still recored here in 1847. The mill was slightly altered to allow construction of Park Road in the 1850s. Owners changed and i November 1880 the mill suffered a serious fire. It was expanded again in 1891, and then in 1894 Sidney Stott built a further mill extension, with Adamson boilers. The older buildings were redundant- it appears the plan was to demolish them and extend the extension into a full mill. In 1895 there were 52000 mule spindles, of which 45000 continued in operation to 1953. The Stott mill was still standing in 1993. }}
