Spindle, type used on a spinning mule, found at Murray's Mills in Ancoats during the archaeological survey of the site.
Murrays' Mills is one of the oldest surviving steam-powered cotton spinning mill complexes. First established in Ancoats in 1797, it became, along with neighbouring McConnel and Kennedy mills, one of the largest industrial complexes of its time, reflecting Ancoats development into the first industrial suburb.
