Looks great, nice work!

We managed spillers a few years back and that was great too. Any left there unexplored now?

We have done Spillers and the Ford flour mill. That's all of them. Those two can be seen in the second to last photo.

Yep, that's all the (remaining) Avonmouth giants done. Gutted that we missed the boat with CWS, was certainly a case of snoozeyoulose...

Lovely photos mate, will try and get mine up soon

 

[Oxygen Thief]

Feel free to do a roll-up report, all of them in one.

 

[catbalou]

Might try and do that myself, depending on how the photos look from the other two! Will have a look later on...

[ACID- REFLUX]

Nice ones , can't beat a good Mill

 

[tumbles]

From what I was told by relatives who work witihn the docks this was also known as BOCM Pauls mill towards the end of its working life. At one point there were 6, maybe 7, mills/silos on the main dock strip apparently. It's a shame the original spillers mill (not silo) went in the 80's.

Old enough to remember the Ford one in use too.. eek.

Yep, just some open space and some newer small warehouse type buildings replaced the actual mill. Only three remaining now. I suggest people see these sooner rather than later. Losing out on CWS will continue to bother me.
