The mill dates back from 1830 when it was a scouring room and dyehouse to local villagers in the area, Broadhead & Graves bought the mill in 1909 from Martin Sons & Company and supplied high quality worsteds to many London tailors. Unfortunately they fell into financial trouble due to lack of demand and were put into administration in 2004, with the mill finally closing in 2005.
Also managed to borrow a 8MM sigma EX fisheye

constructive C&C welcome

Very evocative of a lost industry, unfortunately there are many local mills in that condition but a number have been saved if thats the right word by conversion into flats

Great series showing the decay of the structure. Isn't it criminal to treat the flag that way though? Creepy place.
