 This was in a building down South when I went to visit a site member - so he'll recognise it. Mill motor house with everything intact. The next wing along had Lancashire boilers and looked worthy of a poke around. I couldnt get my camera up that high. Would love a proper mooch when Im next in that area. Love old industrial stuff.....
