Brewery fire Higher Mills
3rd March 1931. Cotton spinning at Higher Mills had ceased by the 1870s. The low part of the mill then became a brewery until approximately 1920, after which it was used only for bottling Ind Coope beer. This activity was never restarted after the fire. See “Bollington in old picture postcards” for full details. Also www.happyvalley.org.uk/breweries .
