A great selection, the last one could be from the title sequence of The Old Grey Whistle Test!
 
Fletchers Papermill Dec 07

Myself, Midnight, Hairy and Site were on a roadtrip up North and had the plessure of seeing this place. I was amazed by how the place looks like they just gone home for the evening and will be returning tommorow. If it wasn't for the decay caused by neglect you could believe you had walked into a working mill.

Is this the paper mill in Oldham? it looks pretty good. Its always nice when a place has that "untouched" feel about it.

Yeah it's the Oldham one.

The weird thing is all the equipment is still live. The control panels are all lit up like Christmas Trees :eek:
 
Re: Fletchers Papermill Dec 07

Good to see more of this interesting mill. Interesting pics too.
Love the keys. There's something about keys with labels on! :mrgreen:
Would still love to know what the large round hopper type thing is though! :confused:

Cheers :)
 
Re: Fletchers Papermill Dec 07

Yeah reaperman this place is just as it looks... looks like they just up and left in the middle of a work day and never came back... electric on machines still on etc etc... absolutely nuts... :confused:

fletchers is prety tight for security, shaws just seems to be noesy neigbours but its often used by dog walkers and kids on skate boreds. so long as your not doing any harm i cant see there being any problems at shaws.
its tight at fletchers as theres been alot of stone stolen from around that area lately.
