A flat has gone up for sale inside Paisley's Anchor Mill, a landmark building with a rich history . The domestic finishing mill was designed by architects Woodhouse & Morley in 1886 and once played a pivotal role in the global cotton economy, but owing to rapid industrial decline closed in the 1980s.
