Clock Tower and Mill - Huddersfield - May 08

[KingElvis]

This is Newsome Mill and clock tower in Huddersfield. It's lovely but dangerous.

Big thanks to Ernie99 and Rebel for the original discovery of the place. Also many thanks go to Squirrel68 for pointing me in the right direction to get there. Dweeb gave me great information too....cheers mate as usual.

As I left my tripod mount in the car, picture were all "freehand" ie:- not very good.

Visited with the excellent Converse1

And lastly....a shoddy flash shot of the bell.

Thanks for looking :thumb

Fantastic pictures. Any close ups of the detailed ironwork on the spiral stairs?

Nice report there.

What was dangerous about the place?

Well getting in was dangerous, the chavs outside with matches (this is a tinder box, all wood and dry), holes in the floor, rotten stairs...not the safest place.

Well worth a look though andy, I know you would like it

Nice work KE

Good to see the bell still in place -something of a rarity I'd imagine.
Did you get any exterior shots?

Shooting freehand is the way forward!

Cracking photos, KE. Especially like the third pic. Really nice wooden beams and brickwork and love that rather elegant spiral staircase.
