This is the third mill on the complex that the developer is seeking to rejuvenate
A historic mill could be redeveloped into more than 800 apartments and a 120 bedroom hotel - just a stone's throw away from Wigan town centre.
Mill 1 will be converted into a leisure facility with a Mackie Mayor style food hall and office space above, with Mill 3 set to be transformed into 137 apartments.The mill complex was a key part of the cotton revolution after being built between 1883 and 1920. At its height of production in the mid-1920’s, the mills contained some 253,000 spindles and 1,687 looms and employed more than 3,000 workers, forming one of the largest integrated textile production sites in the country.
Plans also include partial demolition and rebuild of Former New Reeling Block and Former Winding Block and offices. According to the planning documents, Mill 2 is expected to become the ‘gateway’ into the Eckersley Mill complex upon redevelopment.
