Wilkinson's Saw Mill, Walkeringham
Beauty sleep disturbed by a text from jST, I weighed up my options...derping in the cold and wet or spending the day with the MILF like I'd promised to do...no contest, show me the derp!
jST's excellent reportage HERE
In its later life this was undoubtedly a timber merchants and manufacturer of fencing and sheds (in fact there were that many sheds on display Derelict Places could probably create a whole sub-forum just for this site
), but going by the chimney and what seem to be kilns I believe it may have also been a brick/tile works at some point.Some of the roofs are extremely sketchy, held up by a couple of planks - if you do find your way here, just be careful what you bump into.
The main attraction is, of course, the vehicles - I can't understand how anybody can leave these to rot away instead of allowing someone to restore them to their former glory...but I'm glad they do!
