View over Colden, with Jack Bridge Mill

This early steam powered mill, built in 1861 by Colden Cotton & Commercial Company Limited, was the last to be built in the Colden Valley. It was demolished in the 1970s following a fire. Colden School can be seen left of centre, and is shown with a new sewage system discharging into a septic tank which dates the picture to the mid 1950s. On the very left of the picture near the top of the hill is High Gate Chapel, since demolished.
