Revisit to Hartford Mill, Oldham - May 2015

With further promises of imminent demolition, Judderman and myself decided to have one last look at Hartford Mill, a monster of mills that is a local landmark or blot on the landscape depending on how you view it.

Standing empty for years, I last popped into this shell of a Grade II listed building back in March 2014.

I had gone for this view, but sadly the grey sky let us down sadly.



Time for a new mooch in the final days (saying that, the threat of demolition has been hanging over the place for years).





So we pottered in, as you do.





 









 

 

Not much to say really,  other than goodbye Hartford ?

Hartford Mill, Oldham - March 2014

We went to Oldham.

Oldham is a bit like Bolton, but a little more shit.

As you drive up the motorway towards the wonderful town of Oldham the vast Hartford Mill comes into view and slowly towers the outskirts of the town with its huge chimney.

Built in 1907 and abandoned 1992, this Grade II listed building has sadly been approved for demolition as it overshadows new housing developments in the area.







In we walked, as you do, an empty shell of a building yet full of charm.



 



Up top, with a great big hole in the roof.









 

 

 

Time is running out for this old Hartford Mill, the much promised demolition looms (it has for years to be honest but the end is now nigh) so be quick if your planning to go - it is worth it just for the views up top of Manchester and the Pennine Hills alone.
