Bailey mill

 Bailey mill in Delph was built in 3 stages, starting in 1863 with later additions in 1865 and 1871 respectively.

The mill was owned by the Mallalieu family who were in the textile business with cotton and later 
onto wool. The firm went into administration in 1996. They came out of administration when they were bought 
by another Delph weaving company, Gledhills. However, in doing so, most of the business was transferred to 
Valley Mill, just up the road. Bailey Mill remained in use until about January 2000.

Since that time it has remained empty and its future is uncertain. The old Delph branch line (locally known as The Delph Donkey) once ran along the front of the mill in the picture with the last passenger train running on Saturday 30 April 1955. The old track bed is now a popular recreational route to Dobcross and Uppermill.
Although the railway infrastructure has mostly been removed, the architecture of the bridges, walls and buttresses remains.
