Kearsley Mill is a 240,000 sq ft, late period cotton mill located in the small village of Prestolee in Kearsley, Greater Manchester. A near complete example of Edwardian mill architecture, the grade 2 listed building now functions as headquarters for a number of businesses and is still used in the continued manufacturing and distribution of textiles by Richard Haworth Ltd Est (1876), part of the Ruia Group. ==Location== Kearsley Mill is one of over 100 mills which were built in the Greater Manchester area when industry was booming in the 19th and early 20th century. The confluence of the River Croal and Irwell in the valley of Prestolee and Ringley created the ideal location for early industry to develop, as described in 1911, ‘a busy industrial place. There are collieries, iron foundries, paper mills, powerloom mills, spindle works, and chemical works; bricks and tiles are made and cotton-spinning carried on’.〔Farrer, W. and Brownbill, J. (1911) ''Townships: Kearsley. A History of the County of Lancashire'', Volume 5 p. 39〕
