Can someone identify this building for me and possibly write me anything about it?

enter image description here

I only know, that it is located in Lancaster.

    how do you know that? Is the picture from a web page? Do you have an address? – Kate Gregory Jun 15 '15 at 19:50

    Without knowing anything at all about it, I can tell you it's an old cotton mill. There are thousands of them all over the north of England. – Daniel Roseman Jun 15 '15 at 19:58
  • @KateGregory Nope. It is an image from my collection and file is titled just Lancaster.jpg. It comes from FreeImages.co.uk site and I have found a copy of it in valuestockphoto.com. – trejder Jun 15 '15 at 20:13

    @DanielRoseman is there anything specific about the mill that says "cotton" as opposed to, say, wool or wagons or beer or what have you? – phoog Jun 15 '15 at 20:15

    Unfortunately the Google aerial photos of Lancaster seem to be rather low-resolution. But the fact that the street is at least 3-4 lanes may be helpful - Lancaster doesn't seem to have very many streets that wide. – Nate Eldredge Jun 15 '15 at 21:04

    You really haven't explained why you think it's in Lancaster, apart from that being the file name. I'm also beginning to wonder how this is related to travel. – DJClayworth Jun 15 '15 at 21:32
  • @DJClayworth (1) Because I don't have any other arguments except filename. (2) I thought that [tag:identify-this] questions are allowed here for just identifying pictured places without any relation to travel and are on-topic here. I have another question of this kind, well received by the community, even though I don't plan to visit Mt. Fuji soon and even though identifying city below Mt. Fuji also hasn't much in relation with travelling. – trejder Jun 15 '15 at 21:36

    @NateEldredge: It certainly doesn't, and those that do rarely have old mills on them. Unfortunately double yellow lines are invariably at the edge of the road,so this must be an ordinary street with a deceptive camera angle. – Tim Lymington Jun 15 '15 at 21:43

    @TimLymington: Oops. I was thinking of US conventions, in which a double yellow line would be in the middle of the road (separating two directions of traffic). – Nate Eldredge Jun 15 '15 at 21:47

    The double yellow lines on the edge of the road would tend to confirm a British location, and the cars look British enough: but at the left hand side there are some high-looking snow-capped mountains which to me would not be compatible with Lancaster. – DJClayworth Jun 15 '15 at 22:34

I don't know for sure if they own the building, but the image appears on http://www.cassandra-fp7.eu/page/Workshop_home (on the first section of their slideshow), this could though be beacuse it is a stock image.
