We start work on the restoration of Mill 3 at Cotton Works.

Monday 16th March 2026

We’re delighted to share that Charles Andrews will be working along side Heaton Group by providing Building Services Consultancy for the restoration of Mill 3 at Cotton Works — a landmark project we’re incredibly proud to be part of.

Originally completed in 1900, Mill 3 forms one of the three Grade II listed Western Mills, designed by the renowned Stott & Sons. The building stands as a powerful reminder of Wigan’s industrial heritage, engineering ambition and architectural craftsmanship.

As partners in this next chapter of Cotton Works, our approach aligns with the core vision guiding the wider regeneration:

Preserve historic fabric.

While integrating modern building services discreetly and sensitively.

Enhance energy performance.

Through low‑carbon, future‑ready systems that respect the constraints of a listed structure.

Improve internal environmental quality.

Ventilation, lighting and comfort — without compromising character.

Introduce adaptable, resilient services.

Infrastructure that supports flexible mixed‑use occupation.

Once Complete.

Mill 3 will play a central role in shaping a vibrant, mixed‑use neighbourhood — bringing together workspaces, leisure, hospitality and community life within a setting rooted in history.

We look forward to supporting the d elivery of this important project and sharing more updates as work progresses later this year.
