File:West view mellor muslin mill2.jpg
"View of Mellor Mill, in Marple near Stockport," (1802). This cotton mill was built by Stockport industrialist Samuel Oldknow in 1790-3. He was England's leading manufacturer of muslin, which had previously only been made in east Bengal. The building was six stories high, and the mill was powered by a waterwheel fed by water from a nearby river diverted into a series of mill ponds.
