Installing Machinery into The Queen Mill Dukinfield 1960s
Loading...
Uploaded by seftonwallet on May 23, 2007
The Queen Mill in Dukinfield was a former cotton mill completed in 1902.
Here is home movie footage filmed by Elsie Roscoe, of plant being installed by William Oldham & Sons Ltd, in the 1960s.
A Morrison's Supermarket now occupies the site.
The music is Calling All Workers by Eric Coates.

Well, i was just looking at my farthers past, and i found this site, My farther Harry Gill was the electrictian in this factory, we moved up to the north in 1979, we have very found memories from this mill, and i'm sure we have history, because we were best mates Graham Oldham who had a shop in staylebridge,

Great Films. I was actually in this mill in 1974

@Ashtonian54 The Queen Mill was on Foundry Street, Dukinfield.
Parliament Street was behind Foundry Street, running parallel to Foundry Street.
The Queen Mill would cast it's shadow over Parliament Street.

Thanks for watching. This was filmed by my aunt who died two years ago, aged 89. Wm Oldham was her father, my grandfather.
However, William died in 1948 and his sons (my late uncles) carried on the business, the site of which was adjacent to the Queen Mill.

More heritage wiped from the landscape. Still alive on you tube though, thanks for posting.

This looks like the installation of one of several dust extraction systems they had at Queen Mill (Sterling Mouldings),the flat roof was covered in them. The chap in the suite with the moustache in the loading bay is, I think, Ken Goddard the general manager. He gave me a job for 6 weeks just as I had left school and before I went on to more academic pursuits.

Hello Mark,
Would you be Vic or Colin's son? If so, then William Oldham (d.1948) is your GREAT grandfather, and William Oldham (Bill), (my uncle Bill, d.1961 son of William Snr., is you're grandfather.
