Bolton – Halliwell Road Mills

An existing cotton mill was acquired by Burton in 1939 and converted within four months to the Halliwell Road Clothing Factory, that would employ 3,000 workers. It doesn’t have any Burton Deco features, although a 1978 photograph does show an attractive looking brick entrance gateway with some streamline globe lights and pylons or flag poles. The factory closed in the early 1980s and the brick gateway has been demolished, but many of the buildings survive.
