Gateshead Mill, Delph
History
As with many of the smaller mills in Saddleworth there isn't that much history about the place. It was used by Saddleworth Yarn Dyers up until 2000, which more or less when the neighboring Bailey Mill stopped production.
Since then the building has been managed by a company from Bradford, not sure if they actually used it for anything during this time. The 2 large steel chimeys which used to dominate the skyline have finally been removed in the last couple of months, the current future of the buildings are unknown.
Visit
I had totally forgotten about this place, despite numerous visits to Bailey Mill just around the corner, so decided to call in as I was passing on the way home from somewhere else, it's a small mill with not much remaining inside really, but there was something about the place I quite liked.
Anyhow...on with more dark, grainy and apparently out of focus shots
