Tean Hall Mills - Cross Mill John and Nathaniel Phillips bought the Old Hall House and surrounding land in 1747. A linen tape weaving mill was built bringing together the outworkers from the cottage industry. Further buildings were erected in the 1770s with the impressive Cross Mill built in 1823 to house steam powered Jacquard looms. The building has an iron frame. The Phillips business survived until the 1970s and the mill closed in the 1980s. The buildings have been converted with a mix of private apartments and social housing. This view will soon disappear as the area in front of the mill is developed with modern three storey townhouses. I suppose this is a necessary evil as it helps to pay for the restoration project on the mill buildings.
