Standing high above Oldham since 1907, these towers were built as part of the original Ram Mill β one of the last cotton spinning mills constructed in the area before the industry began to decline.
The towers served a practical purpose: water storage for the millβs internal systems, including its fire sprinkler network. The dome on the south tower held a cast iron tank, and the height helped maintain pressure throughout the building.
But function didnβt come at the expense of design. The detailed brickwork, stone banding and terracotta accents reflect the kind of ambition and pride that defined Oldhamβs industrial boom.
More than a century later, the towers still define our skyline. And nowβ¦ shall we tell you what weβre planning?
Weβre working on designs to create high-end penthouse suites within the towers themselves. A completely unique living space, surrounded by history, with views right across the Oldham rooftops.
Can you picture it?

This is one of the nicest office spaces weβve built at Ram Mill Business Centre, and weβre proud of whatβs gone into it. Swipe to see how this project started.
Hereβs what we delivered:
βοΈ Private meeting room with full-height glass and dimmable lighting
βοΈ Integrated storage cupboards for secure filing and equipment
βοΈ Separate kitchenette area
βοΈ Custom worktops and wall points ready for tech installs
βοΈ New air-con, LED lighting, checkered flooring
βοΈ Full restoration of those stunning brick columns and huge windows
βοΈ Wall-mounted flush lighting to bring out the exposed brickwork
Itβs the balance of modern spec and heritage details that makes this space really stand out. Plenty of natural light, high ceilings and industrial character.

Some of the best ideas start around a table like this.

Spaces like this arenβt just about walls, chairs, and screens. Theyβre about giving you the right environment to focus, to think bigger, and to bring your team together when it matters most.
At Ram Mill Business Centre, weβve created meeting spaces with the little details thought through β flexible layouts, everything needed to make your meeting run smooth and enough character to make every session feel like a fresh start.

This space has seen a lot over the years β but nothing quite like this.
Swipe to see the transformation of one of our favourite parts of Ram Mill. What was once a dark, crumbling shell of a room is now a light-filled space with restored heritage features, modern finishes, and an atmosphere that stops people in their tracks the moment they walk in.
When we first stepped into this room, the windows were boarded up, the roof was barely holding on, and you could see the history β but only if you really looked for it. Now that history speaks for itself. Itβs in the archways, the crane beam, the brickwork. And itβs been brought back to life to host weddings and events
This isnβt just a before-and-after. Itβs a reminder of whatβs possible when you invest in a space with vision, care, and a lot of elbow grease.

We had the pleasure of hosting a beautiful tropical-themed event here at Ram Mill over the weekend and the transformation was incredible-Every detail brought a burst of colour and energy to our industrial space.
What always amazes us is how versatile this building really is. As part of a restored 1907 cotton mill, the original brickwork, steel beams and arched windows create a stunning historic backdrop β but it`s also a blank canvas that works with any theme. Whether it`s a traditional wedding, a tropical celebration, or a sleek corporate setup, the space adapts beautifully.
We host everything from weddings and private parties to business events and community functions β and each one brings its own personality. If you`re planning something special and want a space that can be totally reimagined, come and see what weβve got to offer.
