Prior to this, he oversaw huge growth in the Glodwick area, which has since become synonymous with one of Oldham's more significant contributions to the Industrial Revolution of the mid-Victorian period. Living in Nottinghamshire during his years of financial success, Milne became involved in the dissenting movement by joining the newly established Congregationalist Church's circles. It is here that he liaised with the political radical Samuel Morley, MP for Nottingham between 1885 until 1886, whom would later unveil his headstone at the Methodist Church in Burton Joyce after his death in 1877. The village's Congregationalist chapel was subsequently completed in 1896 using funds bequeathed by Milne in his will.
