Oldham in Greater Manchester, England is an archetypal British "Mill town". Although its textile producing days are over, it is still home to many historic cotton mills.

In the United Kingdom, the term "Mill town" often refers to the 19th century textile-manufacturing towns of Scotland and Northern England, particularly those in Lancashire (cotton) and Yorkshire (wool). Likewise the northern English city of Manchester was bestowed with the name Cottonopolis as its region was considered a metropolis of cotton processing mills. One of the most famous references to the early mills was in the poem/hymn "Jerusalem" by William Blake, in which "those dark satanic mills" were used to symbolise the injustice that a new Jerusalem ought to replace.

The British textile industry never fully recovered after the Great Depression, and its decline continued after the Second World War when it was unable to compete with the growing Indian textile industry. It is said that Gandhi was jeered when he visited mill towns on his 1931 tour of Britain, as many locals blamed his policies for causing unemployment.^[1] There are still a minority of mills left in operation today however.

The term mill town has seen something of a revival in the British media since the debate over relations between Muslims and non-Muslims began in the aftermath of riots in several mill towns.^[2] The term conveniently groups together towns on both sides of the Pennines that suffer from racial segregation and sometimes significant racial tension. Bradford has seen several riots in recent years whilst Burnley, Dewsbury and Oldham have all had suffered one riot each (see Oldham Riots and Bradford Riot). After the Second World War, thousands of migrants from both the Caribbean and the Indian subcontinent settled in the mill towns to fill the labour shortage in the industry; they often moved to the traditional working-class areas whilst the White working-class moved out to the newly built estates after the war.^[3] Manifestations Slavery Racial profiling Lynching Hate speech Hate crime Genocide (examples) Ethnocide Ethnic cleansing Pogrom Race war Religious persecution Blood libel Paternalism Police brutality Movements Policies Discriminatory Race / Religion / Sex segregation Apartheid Redlining Internment Ethnocracy Anti-discriminatory Emancipation Civil rights Desegregation Integration Equal opportunity Counter-discriminatory Affirmative action Racial quota...

Many mill towns have a symbol of the textile industry in their town badge. Some towns may also have statues dedicated to textile workers (e.g. Colne[5]) or have a symbol in the badge of local schools (e.g. Ossett School). Ossett School & Sixth Form College is the only high school in Ossett, a town in the county of West Yorkshire, U.K.. Over the last five years, its results have improved significantly and it is now consistently top of the league tables for comprehensive schools in the Wakefield district. ...

The list below includes some towns where textiles was not the predominant industry. For example, mining was also a key industry in Leigh in Lancashire, and in Ossett in Yorkshire.

Amoskeag Canal, 1948, by Charles Sheeler

Beginning with technological information smuggled out of England by Francis Cabot Lowell, large mills were established in New England in the early to mid 19th century. Mill towns, sometimes planned, built and owned as a company town, grew in the shadow of the industries. The region became a manufacturing powerhouse along rivers like the Housatonic River, Shetucket River, Blackstone River, Merrimack River, Nashua River, Cochecho River, Saco River, Androscoggin River, Kennebec River or Winooski River.
