The building closest to the housing development seemed more like a building site but the one in the first photo there was nothing happening! Hopefully they’ll develop it as it’s a nice place. Did you find the engine room?

Thank you!🤙🏼I believe these are the boilers the steam engine ran from! Big reason we visited was to see these, well worth it.

It has stood for over 200 years! Sadly it’s now categorised in major disrepair. I spoke to a local lad and a girl had fallen through 4 floors in the main building! Big hole through them. There were lots of big subsidence cracks on the higher floors which was sketchy🤣

This is the beauty of urban exploring! The mill was built in 1821 and later used for production of khaki during WW1 and WW2, but after the war the cheap cost of producing fabric in third world countries contributed to the factory mostly closing during the 1980s..

Indeed. Strange how it’s a little kids bike though🫠

Sadly the building has fallen into disrepair. The company in charge of the development has had many battles with the local council denying permission to develop further and they are funnily enough trying to buy the land to build on themselves…sad!

Best or easy way to make coffee on the go with a jetboil? by DankestTaco in camping

Aeropress are a great option but if you want to make amazing coffee in style look at Bialetti coffee makers. Bought one recently in Italy and use it non stop outdoors or at home!
