Hello all,
My first post. I have a penchant for photographing old mills in Bradford before they get torched, demolished or converted. I haven't uploaded many photos, but this mill is my favourite, probably because of it's historical significance. Inside it is very plain, and has been completely stripped. Don't try to get into here, it isn't accessible. Lower floor doors/windows are boarded from the outside AND barricaded from the inside. I walk past it twice every day, got lucky and was let in. There was a rave here a couple of years ago and they want to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I believe the current building dates from 1803 (the original mill having burnt down, a drawback of steam power) so it is rather small and plain, and made from local honey coloured sandstone. The slightly later mills are more ornate.
Obligatory bog shot.
Time stood still in..... 2002.
"decoration" (?)
Rusty (empty) safe.
