Report - Cotton Wool and Cloth, A Decade In The Great Mills Of The North

[host]

Outstanding report, the commitment is second to none. Most explorers don't won't do 100 explores never mind 100 on the same subject so hats off to you mate. I love a good mill but have some way to go on reaching the 100 mark. I would have loved to have seen some of these.

Looked at this before but not given it a proper read until now. Excellent effort when put together like this.

I think I prefer the stone of the Yorkshire mills to the red brick of the Lancashire ones - however you do tend to see more tiling over the hill in Lancs than here.

Obviously, has to be said, I think you still need to get in the best one we have to offer... but if I did half this amount of mills I'd be a happy man.

Some kind of water tank, for the little engine that was in the shed by it I believe! I did stand and admire it's pointless beauty for a while though! It was (and still is as far as I'm aware) at Stonebridge Mills in Leeds.

Another impressive body of work and a great tribute to a once rich textile industry.

Been a lurker for years. Love all of your work mate. Victorian industry at it's finest. Absolutely fascinating. Thankyou.
