A former cotton mill in the United Kingdom was converted into a self-storage facility by Alligator Self Storage.

The historic building, called Egyptian Mill, in Bolton, England, was a working cotton mill for more than a century. Since the mill closed in 1960, the building was considered for other possible uses, including residential apartments and a boarding school.

The five-story facility will include climate-controlled units a variety of sizes, extensive security, tenant insurance and packing materials.

Alligator Self Storage operates 17 self-storage facilities in the United Kingdom. This is the company’s first facility in northwest England.
