Unfortunately not, Bill. It closed down in 2000 but had been the longest continuously operated factory ever, having started life as a cotton spinning mill back in the 1780s. It was variously a dye works, paper mill and other things before it closed down. There's been talk of residential use, but there's not a lot of light down there and the noise from the weir is quite deafening. Especially if you stand here to take photos.
The easy way to bend steel.
ReplyDeleteNice location. Is the mill still in operation?

DeleteIt certainly has a lot of character. Thanks for the images.
