Another potter over the border into Yorkshire, visited with LuigiDawn, Judderman and the one only known as Evilnoodle.
Walkleys Clogs had been one of a number of companies producing clogs from this mill for over 120 years and then the mill was reinvented as factory outlet with craft centre and soft play areas. The mill became a very popular tourist attraction, sadly a bit to popular for the locals - with more than half a million visitors a year the pressure on the local road system was unsustainable and the council demanded the company pay for a new road network.
Welcome to Walkleys Clogs !
This place has had the usual vandals in but still retains "odd" bits and bobs.
