Night time visit with Vwdirtboy.
This is our second time back as first time we visited we found some of the site was live.
So we decided to go back at night. I hope to go back in the day time to get shots of the outside of the building.
The mill was built between 1801 and 1803 by Thomas Fox on the site of the town’s flour mill. Rebuilding followed a fire in 1821 and steam power was installed in 1840 – the factory was originally water-powered. Fox Brothers together with the Elworthy family, who ran further woollen mills at nearby Westford, Operations at Tonedale have been scaled down in recent years
