Edenwood Mill, Stubbins, Lancs 06/08

Thanks KingElvis for the reminder about this place
( i did say i'd go and see it very soon, didn't i ? )

Built in 1801 Edenwood mill has been empty since 2001.
In the early part of the last century the factory was extended and developed as a dyeing facility for Turnbull and Stockdale Limited, to compliment their weaving, bleaching, printing and distribution activities.
Between 1968 and 2001 the Edenwood factory was solely used as a specialist hand block printing unit.

Today the empty mill could be given a new lease of life with plans to transform it into 25 luxury apartments
which would mean the mill chimney and part of the red brick buildings being demolished.


The pics...

Sadly time got on,and a 3 mile walk home was due
( via the pub of course )

the mill and setting would make a nice painting (if untrashed)

nice work,old mills are great to explore as they have a story to tell and usually a lot of history.Love the black&white effect shots as they give it the "olde worlde"look it deserves

Thanks Johno

Certainly has got a lot of character.
be sad to see it made into apartments (if it does get approved)

There's some really nice details inside...love the long piece of machinery (stretcher/dryer?). Nice work.

What a lovely setting. Really like this building, and great to see some machinery still left there. Like the graff art. Don't mind seeing that but hate it when people have tagged places.

Excellent pics, and a good find.

Cheers,

Sal

that's the only thing left inside that identifies what the building was used for.
