Corn Mill

Built – unknown

Demolished about 1783.

 

When the Peels in 1783 began operations in Ramsbottom, there existed, near the site of the Square, an old corn mill called Cawdaw Mill.  This they removed.  Cawdaw Mill, together with its appurtenances, occupied the space – now mostly road and lodges – extending from about the Square Street end of Orchard Mill to about the north east corner of the Square. [Hume Elliot page 115].
