The history has been shamelessly lifted from HughieD's excellent report from last year. My own research does not cover anything more that he has not written, and not enough has changed between the 9 months. The four-story mill sits (or rather sat) at the heart of Newsome. The village grew up...

Standard Fireworks, Crosland Hill, Huddersfield - June 2023. Visited solo. Really good fun, this. Such a large, overgrown site with some extensive bramble and nettle manoeuvres to avoid the large dome cameras on sticks, but totally trouble-free on the two occasions I plotted around the site...
