Right opposite the Charlesworth Mill was the Fitzalan Mill or better known as the Crinoline Mill. It was built by Robert Booth, but the mill was never a success. He drew £1,000 from the firm Booth Brothers, to build the mill that crippled them. In 1865 the mill and its equipment were sold by auction, including the sale of twenty-five sewing machines. Later it became a blacksmith's forge and wheelwright shop worked by Ralph and Samuel Wood.
