Rising above the tranquil stone cottages and wooded valley of Barrow Bridge, this striking Victorian chimney stands as a lone sentinel of Bolton’s proud industrial past — and now, with full planning permission secured, it offers an extraordinary opportunity to reimagine history as a truly one-of-a-kind home. Originally built in the early 19th century as part of the ambitious Dean Mills complex, the chimney once crowned a thriving cotton-spinning hub founded by Thomas Bazley, one of the Industrial Revolution’s great innovators. Powered first by the Dean Brook’s rushing waters and later by the steam engines that this chimney served, the mills provided livelihoods for hundreds, their workers housed in the charming model village that still stands today. Long after the mills fell silent and their stone walls vanished into history, the chimney endured — a local landmark visible for miles, a silent reminder of a time when Lancashire’s spinners clothed the world. Today, this relic of the steam age is ready for its next chapter: a bold residential conversion that will honour its industrial heritage while creating a dramatic modern dwelling like no other. https://uk01.l.antigena.com/l/_liRzbymop18iCxrblIi2S_yFxE1BOFMQQ-_4bJco1rkseKUxR0hFykmBSLr3ofDqNN5zFVqzX8ZoMmBzMUYerCDSN6iOA9h6SW-BRXF0qGI~uSlQL6VHLc5Pol9I99BmEsu8oRpwapfsQPbeDKoIQqPmLDEx9_7SnteDMsQt2D7gritSkagAUU23N6Z6AJQWlqrixN~pp Auctioneer comments This property is for sale by the Modern Method of Auction, meaning the buyer and seller are to Complete within 56 days (the "Reservation Period").
