    Arrow Albert Mill, Whitworth - October 08



    Albert Mill - Whitworth, Lancs.

    Had a mooch around the old Albert Mill at Whitworth last week.
    I don't know much about the place, and google hasn't much to offer.
    Once used for the textile industry, then a few engineering firms have used it too.

    Didn't get chance on the 2 top floors because the bus home was due.
    i will go back and do them soon

    Thanks Matt & Mexico

    not a bad little mill, and the main bit not too trashed.

    The red on the tap shot is the flash going through my hand

    the battery went on the canon, so had to use crapcam

    they came out a tad dark, so used "clarify" in Paint Shop Pro to lighten.
    it gives it a HDR type effect.
    i'll have a fully charged Canon when i go back (i promise)

    Orama mill is almost gone now Morphix, and not sure if Facit Mill is empty now.
    a chappy that uses a local site says the boiler room door is hanging off.

    might be worth an outing to see

    i know the bit to the side of Facit with the typical l/l/l/l/l/l style roof has now gone.

    not sure.. but think this space is going to be a car park for the Fudge Factory that moved nearby from Bacup.

    i'm going to have a look again very soon, and do the rest of Albert Mill
