General notes
Spen Brook Mill was a steam-powered cotton-weaving mill probably built in 1857 in a remote rural position to the south of Newchurch in Pendle; it gave rise to the mill hamlet of Spen Brook. The mill originally consisted of a rubble-built multi-storey office, warehouse and yarn preparation block, an engine house, boiler house and chimney, single-storey weaving shed, gasometer and reservoir. Additional sheds were built during the course of the 20th century and in 1998 the mill was used for the manufacture of carpets. It has now been converted into housing.
