It is now part of the Houldsworth Village development and used as a centre for small businesses, and a shopping outlet.

It is close to Reddish South railway station on the Stockport to Stalybridge Line.

The Broadstone Spinning Co., Ltd., Reddish, was incorporated in 1903, with the intention of erecting a large double mill.

A small number had been broken and removed by April 1959, when the government announced a compensation package for firms that agreed to scrap spinning capacity.

As the title in the mules had passed to the scrapman, it was decided that the company was not entitled to compensation amounting to over £60,000, despite the fact that the machinery was still on its premises.

At ground floor level a single storey card shed extends the width of the mill; this is five bays, 68 feet (21 m) deep.

[6] Each mill was powered by a George Saxon & Co 1,500 hp triple expansion inverted vertical steam engines, with Corliss valves.

[8] Originally they spun best Egyptian cottons, in what was technically termed "combed" and "super carded yarns."

Redevelopments were made on the first floor, in order to expand the retail outlet onto two levels.

The previous largest,[citation needed] Houldsworth Mill, stands 200 metres (660 ft) to the north.
