New Mill

New Mill is a disused cotton spinning mill built in 1804, located on Jersey Street in Ancoats, Manchester. The building is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features a slate roof. It has six storeys and 22 bays, with a slightly advanced six-window range at the centre and four-window gabled returns. The windows have cambered brick heads and consist of nine panes. A semicircular stair turret is positioned in the centre of the rear elevation, flanked by narrow vent-towers on each side. There is a detached engine house beyond the stair turret, which was partly rebuilt in the late 19th century or early 20th century; however, a new engine house built in the early 20th century during the conversion to rope drive no longer exists.

The original internal structure included cruciform cast-iron columns that supported timber beams and joisted floors, which still survive on the upper storeys. In other areas, these have been replaced with cylindrical columns and steel beams. New Mill was part of Adam and George Murray's textile works established on this site in 1798, which expanded to create a courtyard linking three spinning mills with warehouse and office blocks around a canal basin. The mill is noted as a rare example of early non-fireproof construction and is an important part of Murray's mills.
