Nice old stone built mill circa 1873. The mill manufactured cotton and cloth for 130 years before closing in 2004. Inside much remains, and the building has had little in the way of vandalism. It has also not been greatly modernised, and wooden floors, stone walls and original fixtures and fittings are everywhere.
The mill's safe and records room are simply amazing, and full of history going way back. Share certificates, ledgers and photos all still remian covered in dust on the shelves!
1918 view of the works
Share certificate. Note the company name is also the name of the buyer of the shares...
A mill valuation, listing every item in the building down to waste paper baskets.
Original hand water coloured plans of the works, circa 1872
Very old cigarette box
Probably flew high over the mill once
Gaffer's office, with beautiful large window
Bobbins
Inside the chimney, sadly no ladder
