Seems ages since I last got out and did something, so here is a nice heritage site for you all! :)
This is a fantastic place to spend an afternoon, if you haven't been I recommend you try and visit it sometime. :thumb
A Victorian mill still with all its looms and line shafting in place and to cap it all a working steam engine!
It closed in the early 80's and was preserved and maintained by a co-operative and now operates as a working museum.
Parts of 'Life on Mars' and ' North & South' were filmed here.
Pics.
