Victoria Mill
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.

Miles Platting
Miles Platting is an inner city part of Manchester, England, 1.4 miles (2.3 km) northeast of Manchester city centre along the
Rochdale Canal and A62 road, bounded by Monsall to the north, Collyhurst to the west, Newton Heath to the east, and Bradford, Holt Town and Ancoats to the south.
Historically part of the township of Newton Heath, Lancashire, Miles Platting expanded into a factory district as a result of the Industrial Revolution. That industrial growth resulted in a population that became very large for the size of the district, resulting in densely packed terraced housing that had degenerated into slums by 1950. As a result of this, crime rose and the area became an economically deprived part of the city.
Miles Platting has undergone extensive redevelopment and regeneration, with former slum terraces removed to make way for council housing.
