Laurel Mill was a cotton spinning mill in the Mills Hill/Middleton Junction area of Chadderton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. It was sited alongside the Rochdale Canal, which formed the boundary with Middleton, in the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. It was built in 1905 by the Laurel Mill Company. It was taken over by Messrs Murgatroyd and after a strike in June 1936 it was sold under the terms of the Cotton Spinning Industry Act 1936 out of spinning. Bought by the Lancashire Cotton Corporation before 1951, it was brought back into production baling waste for export. The building closed for the final time in 1966 and was demolished in 1988.〔 ==Location== Middleton Junction lies at the boundary of Middleton and Chadderton in Greater Manchester Middleton stands on the River Irk, south-southeast of Rochdale, and north-northeast of the city of Manchester. Middleton Junction stands on the Rochdale Canal, just south of the aqueduct that takes the canal over the Irk. The actual borough boundary lies to the west of the canal, and the west of Mills Hill Road. The M60 motorway passes to the south of Middleton Junction; the M62 passes to the north. A heavy rail line enters Middleton from Moston and Blackley to the south, and passes roughly parallel to the canal as they both continue through Castleton northwards to Rochdale.
