Leigh Spinners

A product of the last generation of cotton mill building, Leigh Spinners was designed by Bolton architects Bradshaw, Gass & Hope for the Horrocks Company, and built in two phases.

[2] Part of the factory is occupied by Leigh Spinners Ltd who have manufactured carpets since 1969 and since 2012, synthetic turf products for landscaping and sport.

As at January 2019, the younger of the two mill buildings has had extensive roof repairs, allowing the Charity to advance the restoration of several floors.

Sport England funding enabled the conversion of one floor to accommodate a Table Tennis Club, Martial Arts, Cheerleading, Archery and a gym, with a café and other facilities too.

In October 2020, Leigh Building Preservation Trust [6] appointed former MP Jo Platt, as the General Manager for the project, in order to develop existing services and introduce new ideas.
