Brownsfield Mill, located on Binns Place, Great Ancoats Street in Manchester, England, is an early 19th century room and cotton-spinning power mill constructed in 1825.[1] Hartwell describes it as "unusually complete and well preserved".[1] The chimney is now Manchester's oldest surviving mill chimney. The building housed the A.V. Roe and Company aviation factory in the early 20th century.[2] In 1988, it was designated a Grade II* listed building.[3]
