Abstract:		 This project involved the archaeological recording of a 19th century integrated mill in Heywood, Rochdale, Greater Manchester. The work involved photographic recording, the production of annotated block plans, documentary research and preserves by record the historic interest of the site. Victory Works was constructed in the 1850s, and expanded rapidly throughout the following decades. By the 1890s, it displayed a plan form similar to that surviving today. At that time the site operated as an integrated spinning and weaving mill under the name ''Rose Hill Mill''. The mill complex consists of seven main structures, including the main mill building, a weaving shed, engine house, Infill building, Warehouse, North light shed and warehouse and a terraced house. The buildings are constructed in local red brick, ranging from one to three storeys in height. By the mid-20th century the mill operated as two separate concerns; Victory Works, manufacturing paper rolls on the main part of the site, and a Cotton Waste Mill to the north east. The site is presently vacant, following a fire at the site in 2007. Victory Works displays an unusual plan form for a mid- to late-19th century mill, reflecting its piecemeal development. Small in scale, it displays little technological innovation, nor architectural decoration. As such, it is a modest, if slightly unusual, example of a mill building of this date in this area.
