So here goes another blast from the past.
Maybe a first explore as i cant find any other reports on the place or much information at all to be honest. Please point me in the right direction if you know something i don't.
Enjoy.

History: (Patchy)

Woodhouse Mill / Tack lea works is not to be mistaken with the properly wrecked Melba site on the road between Rochdale and Bury, which is on here as Tack lea works and i believe they were both at one point owned and operated by the same company.

Nestled in the small valley below Greenbooth reservoir on the aptly named Greenbooth Road once stood Woodhouse mill.

A former tannery i think and the oldest records i can find are from a company called Pile fabic dyers. i also found some imformation that it made surgical boots for the NHS Here

Company details found on companies house website.

Historical information on the valley can be found Here, but sadly no information about lower Greenbooth.
If anyone can point me i the right direction for better information it would be much appreciated.

The explore:

Visited with Oli636

What can i say it was 9 years ago, i do remember walking under the mill in a culvert and using our home made electron ladder too climb out of the river and over a high wall. That was fun.
Apart from that I think it was a quiet explore, its well out of the way with no houses or other buildings over looking the site.

Here's some pics.
