Crabtree & Son, Bradford - June 2011.
Have been meaning to revisit this mill after not being able to get above the ground floor back last November (whilst suffering from a major case of “can’t be arsedâ€)
Hooked up with KooK to attempt the rest of this quite compact, yet extensive Mill complex.
It seems that at many points during this Mill’s life, it has been carved up into different ownerships for smaller workshops, meaning that your traditional vertical circulation routes (i.e stairs) have been blocked up. Some of the lower areas appeared to house automotive repair shops, and indeed, still containing the remnants of at least 6 different cars, including a 70’s yellow and black Jaguar XJ and the remnants of many different Citroen 2CVs.
Others showed signs of carpet and wool manufacture/sales and even a large darkroom set up housing reams and reams of projector film, photographs, slides, unused polaroid film and some Leica/Leitz manuals for varying equipment.
Lost Holiday slides - Florence and Tuscany, 1977.
Party Cake - I would have liked to have played it but there were pieces missing.
Bradford City scarf.
Thanks for having a look
