Hiking

The Junction Mills were cotton spinning and weaving mills to the west of the Portland Basin in Ashton in England. They were built between 1831 and 1890 for the Samuel Heginbottom and his sons. The firm went out of business in 1930, and all the buildings have been demolished but the 210 feet (64 m) octagonal chimney, built in 1867, and typical of that period has been preserved in situ
