Empress Mill, Ince
Empress Mill, Ince was a single storey shed mill alongside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, spinning cotton in Ince, Wigan, Greater Manchester, England. It was operated by the Lancashire Cotton Corporation from the 1930s and passed to Courtaulds in 1964. Production finished in 1975. It was the last mill in Ince to close, despite the intervention of Member of Parliament Michael McGuire, and a debate in the House of Commons on 20 March 1975.〔http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1975/mar/20/textile-industry-1 Last mill in Ince〕

Ince or more formally Ince-in Makerfield is an area of Wigan, and an electoral ward of the wider Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, in Greater Manchester. It lies on the southeastern bank of the River Douglas,〔.〕 south east and from Wigan's town centre. It is south of Preston, west-northwest of Manchester, and east-northeast of Liverpool. Principally, Ince was a mining town. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal passes through Ince. Empress mill was built on land adjacent to the canal, by the seventh lock in the 21 lock Wigan flight completed in 1816. Ince and Wigan lie in a synclinal basin, where the middle coal measures of the Lancashire Coalfield outcrop allowing open cast workings. There was ready fuel for the steam engines of the mills. In the 1830s Wigan became one of the first towns in Britain to be served by a railway; the line had connections to Preston and the Manchester and Liverpool Railway.
