The 3 story mill was built as a specialised spinning mill for the Staley Mill Company between1851and 1887, they sold it off and all machinery for £13,000 in 1937. During the second world was the mill was used to keep Italian prisoners.
Centrally is the clock tower which is dated 1857, a new engine house was built in 1908, which has white glazed bricks internally.
Ive read that it closed late 80s early 90s.
I was just passing this so thought Id go up and have a nosey,
External shots only - I wasn't really wearing the correct footwear to venture inside, not to mention scaling the fence.
Again, sorry about the crap pics, I have tried editing them to make them somewhat reasonable.
Thanks for looking,
Lauren
