Premier Mill Tame Street Stalybridge

Premier Mill  was located between Tame Street and Clarence Street in Stalybridge and was constructed by the Victor Mill syndicate who also built Ray Mill. Premier Mill Ltd was formed in June 1906 with a capital of £70,000 in £5 shares for the building of a combined mill next to Victor Mill and was united in 1911 with Ray and Victor mills under Victor Mill Ltd. The company was taken over by Courtaulds in the 1960s, and Premier Mill ceased production in 1982.

It was of unusual design, being mainly a large single‑storey brick‑built shed with a multi‑ridge roof, along the line of a contemporary weaving shed. It was designed to contain 21,600 ring spindles and 1017 looms. The only comparable combined mill in the county is Cromer Mill at Middleton. Premier was also the earliest purpose‑built electrically powered mill in Tameside. The three‑phase current was supplied directly from the nearby Stalybridge, Hyde, Mossley and Dukinfield joint board's main generating station, being reduced from 6000V to 400V by three Westinghouse transformers. The shafts to the weaving sheds carried nine 60hp motors and the ring room was turned by a pair of 150hp motors, all made by the British Westinghouse Co, as were all the other electrical motors. With Ray Mill the two sites had a combined motive power of 3050 hp

Little survives of the mill although the single‑storey office block on Tame Street still stands.
