From the Wikipedia article
Victoria Mill is a former cotton spinning mill on Lower Vickers Street in Miles Platting, an inner-city district of Manchester, England. It was constructed in two phases, in 1869 and 1873, for William Holland & Sons of the Adelphi Mill, Salford, and stood adjacent to the Rochdale Canal and Varley Street. Designed by George Woodhouse of Bolton, it comprised a six-storey double mill with a shared engine house and an octagonal chimney. In 1898 it was acquired by the Fine Cotton Spinners and Doublers Association and remained in operation until 1960. In the early 2000s, it was redeveloped into residential apartments and office space.

Background
History
Victoria Mill contributed to Manchester's role as a major centre of the cotton industry during the 19th century. The mill supported employment in the surrounding area and was part of the industrial expansion of the region.
Architecture
Victoria Mill is built of red brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof. Its design includes repetitive rows of large multi-pane windows and cast-iron columns, which were typical of late 19th-century textile mill construction. The building was designed to maximize light and ventilation, and to provide fire resistance.
