About The Adelphi Mill
A unique and prestigious location
The Adelphi Mill
The Adelphi Mill is an award-winning Grade II listed former cotton mill which sits along side the Macclesfield Canal on the edge of the Peak District.
The mill has recently been updated with a multi-million pound refurbishment to provide contemporary offices within a picturesque waterside setting.
The local Bollington area
Both The Adelphi Mill and its sister mill Clarence Mill are located in Bollington, Cheshire, adjacent to Macclesfield canal. The canal, once used by the mills for cotton transportation, is now a popular location for narrow boating and canoeing. The mill is within walking distance of Macclesfield and Prestbury.
Many of the staff working at the mill regularly enjoy the walks for jogging or a relaxing stroll next to the canal

The mills are on the edge of the Peak District National Park, an area of outstanding natural beauty. Bollington has many fine walks, one of which is the well known Middlewood Way which runs from Macclesfield through to the centre of Bollington. Many of the staff working at the mill regularly enjoy the walks for jogging or a relaxing stroll next to the canal.
The canal near the Mill
Bollington benefits from a number of fine restaurants, hotels and golf courses which cater to the growing business community. There are also numerous fitness centres and spas in the area, including a modern, fully equipped gym inside the mill itself.
Bollington has two beautiful parks and a recreation ground which has now been awarded Green Flag Status, the highest accolade achievable for parks, making it one of the best parks in the country.
The mills are at the heart of the community. They are not only the home of the local community radio station but they also host the annual Bollington Extravaganza. Clarence Mill hosts the annual Floating Garden Festival and has also donated office space to open Bollington Discovery Centre.
The history of Adelphi Mill
The Mill was constructed by Martin Swindells, a local cotton spinner who also owned Clarence Mill. The Adephi Mill was built for Swindells’ two sons – hence the name ‘Adelphi’ which is Greek for brothers.

The Mill began spinning cotton but was soon converted to the production of fine silk. Within three years of the Mill being built, the railway came to Bollington running virtually next to the mill. This soon led to a decline in canal transportation, leading to the near dereliction of the canal.
This was redeemed in the 1960s with the canal being promoted for leisure use. The Macclesfield canal is now the most well-used and picturesque canal in the UK.
During the Second World War Adelphi Mill contributed to the war effort by converting to the production of parachutes.
At the end of the 1960s the mill was acquired by Britax and used for the production of webbing until the 1980s when the mill was first converted to offices.
