May Mill, Foundry Lane, Pemberton

Hello,
I'm enquiring if someone may have information on May Mill. I wish to visit the area where it is, and enquiring if the building is still there, and if so, an address.
Thank you for any information that may be provided.

Hello, May Mill is long gone, its now an estate of houses that, I was instrumental in the building

foundry lane

May Mill was down Foundry Lane, which runs down by Pemberton Railway Station. As Tom says, all gone and now a housing estate.

My sister worked there, I can't remember when it shut but guessing early 1980.s

My mum worked there as well in the 60s. She would have had loads of information had she still been here, and loved telling us all about what she did back then.

Best mill to visit is the Trencherfield Mill in Wigan itself which is part of Lancashire's Industrial Revolution, built 100 years ago, but I believe you have to book to view. I went in there some years ago and the 2500 horse power engine has been kept gleaming. Well worth a visit.

There used to be a pub in Foundry lane called originally The Foundry Inn. Also Georgie Jones had a scrap yard down there in the 80s.

In the late 70s early 80s I spent quite a bit of time in that scrap yard at the bottom of Foundry Lane, keeping me owd bangers going and it was called 'Speedwell Spares'
According to a 1914 map, the pub down there was called the Blundell Arms LINK

Thank you all for your responses, and the photos of May Mill. Very much appreciated.

you can find old photos of the mill online . there are probably some on wigan world. There is a good one of the mill as seen from the cemetery to give you the bearings

As Tom has already said, the mill is long gone now. I worked there late 60s - early 70s. Hard work, and low pay, but some great people there.
