Shaw Hall factory was a 19th century cotton mill in lower Matley, Hyde, Greater Manchester in which nearly 200 people worked.
[1][2] The cotton mill was built during the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century.
It was run as the Shaw Hall Cotton Spinning Company and owned by the Ashton Brothers & Co Ltd.
The factory had many fires in its time, with there being multiple fatal events.
The original millstones and bricks still have smoke stains on them and were used for walls of houses built in the 1930s.
