Saville Mill, Bolton - August 2016

Blimey, 10 days of bloody hot foreign sun and I was bored senseless. Thankfully the return home found Bolton to be both rather cooler and a tad damp which was just to my liking with an easy local mooch shouting to be done.

A school night, myself and Tbolt jumped in the car following an earlier weekend visit by Judderman.

Having walked passed this old derelict mill pretty much every day for the last 14 years it was now at last open to visits without any form of gymnastics, so in we popped as you do.

In the 1970's this area was an industrial area, home to the local bus depot and the various traveling fairgrounds. By the 1990's the area was known only as the local red light district. Come 2016 the area is pretty much derelict or demolished with the red light area heavily under CCTV to stamp out any such activities.

But watch your back, your car etc, etc......

The Smith Lectures - Chernobyl - Bolton 25th August 2016


Just a heads up, my fellow adventurer to foreign parts is to have a friendly chat at Breightmet Library in Bolton about his foolhardy travels with myself and fellow fools. Tindog, AKA  Mick Smith is both funny and educating, entertaining you aided by his collection of personal photographs and a number of my snaps from our trip to Kiev and Chernobyl. This warm up gig will be the first of a coming number of his enthralling Eastern European travel tales that should not be missed.

No entrance fee is being charged.
