TO CORN MERCHANTS, MILLERS, FLOUR DEALERS, &c
By Messrs. T. WINSTANLEY and SONS,
On TUESDAY, the 2d day of February next, at Two o'clock in the Afternoon, at the Clarendon Rooms, South John-street,
ALL that Wind and Steam CORN MILL, situate in the market town of Prescot, in the county of Lancaster, with a respectable and newly-erected DWELLING-HOUSE, lately in the occupation of Mr. Henry Fletcher, the deceased proprietor thereof.
The WINDMILL contains three pairs of French Stones, two Flour Machines, one Corn Screen and Wind Fans, Hoisting Tackle and Chain, &c., four Mill Sails, and all Machinery complete for working the Mill.
The STEAM-MILL contains one 10-horse power Steam-engine, with 15-horse power Boiler, one pair of French and one pair of Welsh Stones, Flour Machine and Hoisting Tackle, with all Gearing and Machinery complete for working the same.
Attached to the Mill are a two-stall Stable, and large Reservoir of Water, the Mill is in good repair, and the Machinery is in capital working order, and being situate in the centre of a populous and thriving neighbourhood, will always command an extensive Business, for it is the only Mill in the town of Prescot, and there is none other within four miles. A branch (now in formation) of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway will pass close to the property, thereby affording great facility for the conveyance of corn from Liverpool. To an enterprising tradesman these Premises present an opportunity rarely to be met with of securing an extensive and lucrative trade.
Immediate possession may be had.
The tenure is Copyhold of Inheritance, subject to a trifling quit rent to the lords of the manor of Prescot.
The property can be viewed, and any further particulars had, on application either to Mr. WILLIAM BROWN, Millwright and Engineer, 8, Lydia Ann-street, Liverpool; or to Mr. EDMUND WARD, Solicitor, Prescot.
