In this video we look at a Manchester Cotton Mill with an unusual Chimney. This is Victoria Mill in Miles Platting Manchester. It is one of Manchesters Cotton mills and it has an unusual chimney the architect was George Woodhouse. It has a unique mill chimney that is encased within the stair tower. With the inclusion of fantastic drone footage of Manchester we get to look at this former cotton mill from the industrial revolution. We urban explore Urbex the wonderful gallery around the roof of the mill and chimney and go out onto the roof looking at splendid views of Manchester. This is an example of victorian industrial architecture. We even see an old industrial crane machinery in the rear courtyard. #industrialarchitecture #cottonmill #urbexmanchester

Hi Martin, the Mather and Platt gong was powered by water, when a sprinkler head went off, the supply to the spray head had to come up through the mains pressure feed pipe and in doing so it went through the black valve inside the stairwell, inside this valve is a spindle with vanes on and as the water passes over the vanes, it turns the spindle and the gong starts. 25 years in fire service and I managed to read all the early training manuals of Firemanship. Result.

Oh Wow Martin, chuffed to bits that you got access to Victoria Mill. Thanks to Ricardo for showing you round. What a stunning building with such an unusual tower. It would have been a tragedy if it had been demolished. Now it's got a few more hundred years in it hopefully and has been put to good use. Many thanks for taking us round with you, really appreciate all the time and work that you put into producing your videos.

@@MartinZero I lived in a flat in Victoria Mill from 2001 to 2016. The flats were massive, and at that time good value for money. Sadly ownership changed hands in 2015 and most of the one bedroom flats were converted to 2 bedroom, with the existing tenants evicted so that could be done - and the rent on all the flats tripled.

Holy kak! Amazing vid , Martin. I always liked this building, and talk about karma.... Years ago, my late stepdad, was a co-owner of a business run from here, Kingsley and Forrester, one of their vans being visible in the vid. They were wholesalers and used to get a lot of M&S seconds clothing and my stepdad did the markets up and down the country with it. we used to sort mixed size socks into paired sizes and parcel them up with string into dozens, at night, for pocket money. I recently found an old MEN article in our archive box from when they were floated on the stock exchange. I would dearly have loved my mum to see this vid, but she passed away 4 weeks ago, ( her ashes came home today), it's heartbreaking for me, but I am so glad this vid has been done to your usual standard. She would have loved it, as do I. Many thanks from the heart mate. Wonderful!

What a fantastic building! That chimney design is mind blowing! Thankyou for showing it off so well, and a huge thanks to Ricardo for getting you in! I only found your channel a couple hours ago and im still "binge-watching" your videos!, but i'd like to ask you something... would you like to visit another Grade II* listed double spinning mill? Specifically, Leigh Spinners mill in Leigh, to the west of Manchester. Its a huge place and although it dosent have such a lovely chimney as Victoria Mill's, it does still have its full height one! Plus the original Yates & Thom twin horizontal cross compound steam engine, one of the largest ever built for a spinning mill and very close to being in working order! There is also a heritage centre, chock full of old textile machinery, photos, household items, industrial items ect! Its in the process now of being converted into a community/commerical/retail/heritage space, but there are still some empty, derelict parts, such as atleast one of the huge mill floors and the water tank room on Mill No.2's stair tower, but i'm afraid there is a ladder to climb to get up there! The view is awesome though, you can see the skyscrapers of Manchester easily, even though tbh i've been too Chicken to go up there yet! I'm just a volunteer in the heritage centre of the mill, but the trust that runs it are always looking for people to come round and see the building and show it off! (especially now that Mill No.2's stair tower has been spruced up on the outside!) Its such an important building, being one of the last large spinning mills to be built(Mill No.2 is dated to 1923) so i'm sure you'd be very very welcome! Thanks again for producing such brilliant videos! I thought i had learnt a lot about Lancashire's industrial past, but watching your videos has tought me so much more!

Hi Martin, Love the music mate. Fab vid, the drone brings some brill features. I'm well gel of your access to that mill. I deliver to mills and over the years gained access to quite a few, Werneth ring mills, Manor mill, Butts mill, Bolton textile mill, gorse,rugby,ram and Pear Mill in Stockport. You should visit it, there are stone and copper pears on the lintel and roof parapets. The roof of Victoria mill ( like many others) held water for the boilers and the down spouts were overflow which usually discharged into the mill pond or lodge as they were sometimes known. I could go on. Love your work.

The Victoria Mill has always fascinated me as a lad from Burnage as the chimney and the viewing gallery could be clearly seen in the distance as you drove up Kingsway from East Didsbury. A brilliant landmark from miles away. Loving the enthusiasm that you put into all the vids. Would love to see some videos of South Manchester and I would love to see you do a video on the Alderley Edge copper mines. Keep up the excellent work.

Brilliant, you’ve excelled again Martin, those drone shots give a totally different perspective. Wouldn’t it have been great if the developer had made a feature of the look out tower for use by the residents, perhaps a reading room for example. Big thanks to Ricardo for sorting this.

Thanks, Martin, for yet another industrial spectacular! Nice that you have a drone to emphasize the size and structural complexities of the building - and also to 'put it on the map'.

Another good one Martin. The enclosed stairway around the chimney was a great idea, never seen anything like that before. The detail at the top of the chimney was interesting, a good reason to look up now and again and see what you could be missing.

Drive past it every day. It draws your eye its so distinctive. When you were up in the observation level I thought those steels and cross bracing was added later but yes they look original great solid building, proper northern built to last. Really enjoyed the video thanks also to Ricardo cool dude.
