India Mill at Darwen was completed for Shorrocks Brothers in 1867 for cotton spinning. The chimney is 24ft square and stands 303 feet tall. The design was by E.Bates of Manchester and built by B. Lloyd of Darwen. The spinning mill closed in 1991 and is now occupied by a variety of businesses. The chimney was in poor condition until in 2007 the top ten feet was rebuilt, a cap put in place and the interior renovated. It is listed Grade II*.
