Me n Royalbob met up with Beardy n Batz yesterday for a little jaunt around Crabtree. We arrived at the AP just as a group of workmen/inspectors/council fellas gave us a funny look before they disappeared through it into the building. Ah, well. Due to time constraints, rather than wait around we had a quick trip to Midland.
I won't bore you to death with history as it's been done to death, but basically:
Midland Mills, Bradford. Born 1871. Died circa 2001. Will maybe get converted to luxury flats/offices/whatever if Bradford ever wins the lottery.
This place is dead. A sad, gutted shell. But, as with most places, there's still a few bits to be snapped with our photographic machines. If it's got decay and broken shit - I'm generally a happy fella!
