i love the pics of the lineshafts and the old riveted girders. not many lineshafts remain in old buildings these days as they were scraped in the many periods of high prices over the years due to there weight.

this may sound a dumb question but as the name sudjests, is this mill located in sleaford?
if so its not a million miles from me and should be worth a trip out one day. i love all kinds of industrial workings found in places like this .

Bloody typical. If any planning gets the go ahead for even part demoltion it will be tragic. Let's hope the locals put up a fight.

Thanks for your comments Wayne, it is an amazing place. Not sure it lends itself to a large group but imo and with not going into details, the fewer people the better.
