    Default Hawkshead Mill - Glossop - February 2011

    Hawkshead Mill - Old Glossop - February 2011

    Visited Solo


    To be honest this mill was quite trashed, but still retained a very distinct character throughout. It was very wet and the top floor quite sketchy in parts but all in all it was a nice way to whim away a couple of hours. Thanks to NickUK for the advice.

    Hawkshead was built in the late 1700's and has had several occupiers, the last being Flexco, a conveyor manufacturer. It was also used during WWI as a munitions factory....

    Indeed you should, there isn't a great deal to see inside but regardless it's a great example of a forgotten 'rural' mill if you would.
