A seldom seen mill, Bolton - July 2016

I do like a good mill, I do like a good permission visit, I was invited by Tbolt to join a student group mooch. It was rather good.

A good potter was had by all around this old cotton and carpet weaving mill. Part working, part closed, we stuck to the closed bits.

A cracking view from up top, of another seldom seen mill.

An unexpected surprise, I could have spent days in this place.

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 ?
