Welcome to Hartford Mill. You've seen it before no doubt.

Built 1907 by the Hartford Mill (Oldham)Co Ltd. Extended 1920 and 1924. Closed 1959 and used by Littlewoods as a mail order warehouse until 1992. Architect was F W Dixon, there were 120,000 spindles and power was provided by a very impressive 1500 hp Urmson & Thompson engine.

Visited with ZerO81 whose entry to the mill made me do a little bit of wee

Cheers chaps.

I'm not sure words could do the entry justice but let's just say it involved a bit (a lot) of blood, a bit (a lot) of clothes ripping and a bit (a lot) of a fall onto the mill floor.
