Report - Kaleidoscope Colourings - Chinley - 17.08.08

[turkey]

Solo visit today.

I was getting sick of locked ROC posts, so I saw this chimney and thought i'd have a nosey.

A little nosey turned out to be an hour and a half as it was a lot better than I was expecting.

Really nice relaxed little explore this one...

Forge Bleach Works last operated under Kaleidoscope Colouration Ltd. Kaleidoscope went to tender sale on the 30th March 2005 the key features listed as "cotton bleaching, dyeing and finishing plant"

No offers were made and shortly after Forge Bleach Works shut its doors forever.

Before Kaleidoscope, Forge Bleach Works operated under the Dorma Group UK who manufactured bed linen and cotton prints.

Forge has been built around and expanded upon the old Sykes Paper Mill originally built in the 1800s by John Sykes. Many of the Mill's original features still remain.
